Plain-Language Summary
The goal is to find an objective way to detect "internal tremors," the shaking sensations some people with Parkinson's feel even when no visible tremor appears. The team uses oscillometry, basically wearable accelerometers, to record tiny internal vibrations while people are in the OFF medication state so the signals are measured without the immediate effects of levodopa; the test only records data, it does not change your treatment. This is a pilot comparison with age and sex matched healthy volunteers to see if the device can reliably pick up those hidden tremors. Adults 18 to 80 with idiopathic Parkinson's, a Mini Mental State score of 25 or higher, Hoehn and Yahr stage 3 or less when OFF, and who can stand and walk unaided are eligible, while people with DBS, pump therapies, major gait or neurological problems, or certain tremor-causing conditions are excluded.
