|---|---|---|
In this paper, we take advantage of the free hand interaction technology as a medical tool, either in rehabilitation centers or at home, that allows the evaluation of patients with Parkinsonu0027s. We have created a virtual reality scene to engage the patient to feel in an activity that can be found in daily life, and use the Leap Motion controller tracking to evaluate and classify the tremor in the hands. A sample of 33 patients diagnosed with Parkinsonu0027s disease (PD) participated in the study. Three tests were performed per patient, the first two to evaluate the amplitude of the postural tremor in each hand, and the third to measure the time to complete a specific task. Analysis shows that our tool can be used effectively to classify the stage of Parkinsonu0027s disease. |
