Previous studies demonstrated improved gait and balance after vibration stimulation was applied to the feet of PD patients. However, not all study participants showed improvement, perhaps due to sub-optimal vibration stimulus.

Tremor is a common symptom among Parkinson's disease (PD) patients at all stages. To measure tremor, we utilized IMU sensing data from the wrists while PD patients were drawing. With 30 patients' IMU sensing data obtained from standard tremor rating scale activities, we conducted data analysis for identifying any tremor episodes and extracting tremor amplitude.

People with Parkinson's Disease (PD) have multiple symptoms, such as freezing of gait (FoG), hand tremors, speech difficulties, and balance issues, in different stages of the disease. Among these symptoms, hand tremors are present across all stages of the disease. PD hand tremors have critical consequences and negatively impact the quality of PD patients' everyday lives.
