Tremor is a cardinal motor symptom in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Technologies that detect and/or quantify tremors and promote rehabilitation have been developed.
Methods:
Following a systematic literature search in PubMed, Cochrane, and EBSCO databases to identify studies on individuals with PD who presented with Parkinsonian tremors and who used technology to detect and/or quantify their Parkinsonian tremors, a scoping review was performed.
Results:
Accelerometers and sensor-based devices have emerged to detect and/or quantify Parkinsonian tremors.
Conclusion:
Available technologies can aid in individual rehabilitation treatments to improve the quality of life in individuals with PD.
