NON-INVASIVE COMPUTER INSTRUMENT FOR MEASURING THE PARKINSON TREMOR IN A SINGLE PLANE.

摘要

The non-invasive computer instrument for measuring the Parkinson tremor in a single axis consists in a sensor based on a photo resistance acting as an element for sensing the shadow generated by the hand of a patient suffering from Parkinson Disease and other photo resistance acting as an element for the environmental conditions adjustment, this instrument acting as a signal conditioning circuit for operational amplifiers. In addition, the invention is formed by a software for displaying a graphic representative of the tremor, as well as the Fourier spectrum, the frequency signal of the tremor to be measured, also storing the tremor measurement and patient data in a database supported by Access. The proposed system allows the Parkinson tremor to be measured; it does not replace a medical diagnosis.
