2. Parkinson’s Disease (PD)
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a degenerative,
progressive disorder that affects nerve cells in deep
parts of the brain called the basal ganglia and the
substantia nigra.
Nerve cells in the substantia nigra produce the
neurotransmitter dopamine and are responsible for
relaying messages that plan and control body movement.
Causes: Genetic, environmental factors …

4. Parkinson’s Disease (PD) - Akinesia
Akinesia (α a, "absence", κίνησις kinēsis, “movement")
represents the most promising motor progression marker of the disease.
Characteristics: defined as absence of movement. This is a condition in which any automatic
movement or action, including gestures, blinking or swallowing actions are limited and their
frequency decreases, although the elemental motor functions are maintained and can be
performed voluntarily. Various aspects appear to contribute to the self-initiation of movements:
Causes: reduced dopaminergic input to the striatum.
Such changes also cause bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor and postural instability, although the underlying
mechanisms leading to these symptoms are still not understood.
Treatment: dopamine precursor levodopa is the most efficient treatment for the improvement of
Parkinson´s disease signs and symptoms.
However, abnormal involuntary movements (dyskinesia) are motor fluctuations that occur in the majority of
PD’s patients undergoing this treatment.

5. Parkinson’s Disease (PD) – ONOFF
Specific Chronic Neurodegenerative Diseases
Progressive loss of motion ability (due to muscle weakening)
Appearance of new motion symptoms (new muscles affected)
Inability to move (at later stages)
Parkinson’s Disease:
Progression is restricted with treatment
Daily motion status is fluctuating due to
treatment

16. Akinesia Algorithm and design
Different modules were created in order to detect and quantify different symptoms
AKINESIA module assesses the amount of movement of the patient in space for any
given period of time.
WTHS_2011 | Valencia| December 2011 16
17. Akinesia: Algorithm design
Output
• Pre-processing:
• Resultant Computation: eliminate position dependence
of the sensors given by:
•
x2 + y2 + z2
• Filtering: Akinesia is related with the slowness of the
movement ,therefore we are interested in the low
frequencies of the signal:
• Band-Pass IIR Butterworth 4th order filter [1÷3] Hz.
WTHS_2011 | Valencia| December 2011 17
18. Akinesia: Algorithm design
Output
The signal is split in 5 minutes length epochs to evaluate a considerable portion of signal. There is 50%
overlapping in epochs to study the whole signal.
For each epoch computes Total Amount of Energy for each working sensor.
OUTPUT:
The resulting energies of each sensor are combined by using a
weighted sum in order to take into account all the possible
combination of sensors.
The module is able to recognize automatically the sensor’s setting

19. Akinesia: ON-OFF Evaluation
→ clear relationship between ON-OFF phases and the akinesia levels.
→ Strong correlation between the lack of movement and OFF status.
→Using the akinesia is possible to discriminate ON and OFF periods in PD patients.

20. Akinesia: Results
For the analysis of the results, two different scenarios are considered.
Akinesia – NO WALKING periods Akinesia – WALKING periods
mean value of the computed akinesia during the mean value of the computed akinesia during
periods when the patient is not walking. walking periods.
The global evaluation of both scenarios demonstrates that it is possible to discriminate ON and OFF periods computing
the lack of movement combining the information provided by different modules of the PERFORM system, in this case
the activity recognizer and the Akinesia module.
WTHS_2011 | Valencia| December 2011 20
21. Conclusions
Useful and Objective tool for the analysis of the akinesia in
PD’s patients.
Suitable for clinical practice
Support health professionals in the diagnosis and follow-
up of PD patients
PD patients’ quality of life improvement
Discriminating parameter for the ON – OFF condition
DATA:
Recording of one patient during 4h and are focused only in the akinesia results as
discriminating parameter for the ON – OFF
FUTURE WORK:
More exhaustive analysis using all the recordings collected during the pilot phases;
Combining the results of all PERFORM classifier outputs
Create a complete profile of patients
