Data Segments with Different Wavelet Bands and Stages of Voting for the Discrimination of Parkinson Tremor from Essential Tremor Using Accelerometer and EMG Signals
نویسنده
چکیده
A new idea for the identification of Parkinson tremor from essential tremor is presented in this paper. Segments of data of accelerometer and surface EMG signals are used with different wavelet bands for the idea of discrimination of Parkinson tremor from essential tremor. The data used are from the University of Kiel, Germany. The data are 41 training subjects: 21 with Essential-tremor (ET) and 19 with Parkinson-disease (PD). Another 40 subjects of test data have 20 PD and 20 ET subjects, are used to test the technique. In this study three different data segments, each with its best fit wavelet band for each signal are selected. Then, a two-stages voting between the results is obtained. The discrimination efficiency on test data resulted 100% sensitivity, 85% specificity and 92.5% accuracy.

Quantification of Parkinson Tremor Intensity Based On EMG Signal Analysis Using Fast Orthogonal Search Algorithm
The tremor injury is one of the common symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The patients suffering from Parkinson's disease have difficulty in controlling their movements owing to tremor. The intensity of the disease can be determined through specifying the range of intensity values of involuntary tremor in Parkinson patients. The level of disease in patients is determined through an empirical rang...
متن کاملAutomatic Sleep Stages Detection Based on EEG Signals Using Combination of Classifiers
Sleep stages classification is one of the most important methods for diagnosis in psychiatry and neurology. In this paper, a combination of three kinds of classifiers are proposed which classify the EEG signal into five sleep stages including Awake, N-REM (non-rapid eye movement) stage 1, N-REM stage 2, N-REM stage 3 and 4 (also called Slow Wave Sleep), and REM. Twenty-five all night recordings...
متن کاملDifferential effects of changes in mechanical limb properties on physiological and pathological tremor.
The effect of changes in mechanical limb properties on the peak frequency of different tremor forms was analysed. Wrist tremor was recorded by an accelerometer fixed to the dorsum of the hand and demodulated surface EMG was recorded from the wrist extensors, while the extended hand was loaded with successively heavier weights. Physiological tremor was characterised by flat EMG spectra and a gra...

Introduction: Minocycline has anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and anti-oxidant effects. Preclinical data suggest that minocycline could be beneficial for treating common neurological disorders, including Parkinson disease and multiple sclerosis. Methods: In this study, the effects of minocycline on harmaline-induced motor and cognitive impairments were studied in male Wistar rats. The rats ...
متن کاملPrevalence of Tremors in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: A Cross-Sectional Study in Isfahan, Iran
Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system. Tremors are a common problem in the patients suffering from MS which is mostly observed in the arms but can also affect the other body parts. There have been few studies on tremors among the MS patients. Objectives: This study is the first to report the prevalence of tremor in a group of MS pat...
