Continuous 7-days activity tracking in patients with parkinson disease: A 1-year continuative multidisciplinary rehabilitation

Introduction: Parkinson Disease (PD) features a gradual evolution of clinical outcome, characterized by both motor (resting tremor, bradykinesia, rigid muscles, impaired posture), and non-motor symptoms (e.g., dysphagia, dysphonia, cognitive deficits). Multidisciplinary clinical evaluation is necessary for setting-up a rehabilitation treatment and for testing its efficacy [1]. However, some specific symptoms (e.g., tremor, circadian alteration) and global performance cannot be accurately quantified through a traditional clinical examination.
