Electromyography Signals as Biomarkers for Parkinson's Disease

Completed

Conditions studied: Parkinson's Disease

In brief

A simple, painless and reliable method to detect Parkinson's disease at an early stage is very important to patients, doctors and researchers. Doctors want to help patients early, and scientists want to select patients for their research who will help in development of better drugs. We hope that the changes in electrical activity of hand muscles during handwriting will help in early detection of this disease.
