Study Overview: This research aims to improve early diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease (PD) by studying how people move. Researchers will use special tools to see if they can tell apart healthy people from those with PD by the way they move their hands or speak. They will also look at the eyes with advanced techniques to support the diagnosis.
- Duration: Participants should not take Parkinson's medication 12 hours before the study.
- Eligibility: Open to people aged 50-75, diagnosed with Parkinsonism or healthy volunteers.
- Risks: Some tests may involve eye exams, but they are non-invasive and safe.
Key Terms Explained:
Kinematic Theory: Studies how movement works in the body.
Biomarker: A biological sign that can indicate a disease.
Oculovisual: Relating to the eyes and vision.
This study hopes to find more reliable ways to diagnose Parkinson's Disease early, which can help with better treatment planning in the future.
