Analysis and Visualization of 3D Motion Data for UPDRS Rating of Patients with Parkinson's Disease.

ABSTRACT: Remote monitoring of Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients with inertia sensors is a relevant method for a better assessment of symptoms. We present a new approach for symptom quantification based on motion data: the automatic Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) classification in combination with an animated 3D avatar giving the neurologist the impression of having the patient live in front of him. In this study we compared the UPDRS ratings of the pronation-supination task derived from: (a) an examination based on video recordings as a clinical reference; (b) an automatically classified UPDRS; and (c) a UPDRS rating from the assessment of the animated 3D avatar. Data were recorded using Magnetic, Angular Rate, Gravity (MARG) sensors with 15 subjects performing a pronation-supination movement of the hand. After preprocessing, the data were classified with a J48 classifier and animated as a 3D avatar. Video recording of the movements, as well as the 3D avatar, were examined by movement disorder specialists and rated by UPDRS. The mean agreement between the ratings based on video and (b) the automatically classified UPDRS is 0.48 and with (c) the 3D avatar it is 0.47. The 3D avatar is similarly suitable for assessing the UPDRS as video recordings for the examined task and will be further developed by the research team.

Project description:BackgroundTelemedicine has become standard in clinical care and research during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Remote administration of Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part III (Motor Examination) precludes ratings of all items, because Rigidity and Postural Stability (six scores) require in-person rating.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to determine imputation accuracy for total-sum and item-specific MDS-UPDRS Motor Examination scores in remote administration.MethodsWe applied multivariate imputation by chained equations techniques in a cross-sectional dataset where patients had one MDS-UPDRS rating (International Translational Program, n = 8,588) and in a longitudinal dataset where patients had multiple ratings (Rush Program, n = 396). Successful imputation was stringently defined as (1) generalized Lin's concordance correlation coefficient >0.95, reflecting near-perfect agreement between total-sum score with complete data and surrogate score, calculated without patients' actual Rigidity and Postural Stability scores; and (2) perfect agreement for item-level scores for Rigidity and Postural Stability items.ResultsFor total-sum score when Rigidity and Postural Stability scores were withdrawn, using one or multiple visits, multivariate imputation by chained equations imputation reached near-perfect agreement with the original total-sum score. However, at the item level, the degree of perfect agreement between the surrogate and actual Rigidity items and Postural Stability scores always fell below threshold.ConclusionsThe MDS-UPDRS Part III total-sum score, a key clinical outcome in research and in clinical practice, can be accurately imputed without the Rigidity and Postural Stability items that cannot be rated by telemedicine. No formula, however, allows for specific item-level imputation. When Rigidity and Postural Stability item scores are of key clinical or research interest, patients with PD must be scored in person. © 2022 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Project description:Upper and lower gastrointestinal dysautonomia symptoms (GIDS)--sialorrhea, dysphagia, and constipation are common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and often socially as well as physically disabling for patients. Available invasive quantitative measures for assessing these symptoms and their response to therapy are time-consuming, require specialized equipment, can cause patient discomfort and present patients with risk. The Movement Disorders Society commissioned a task force to assess available clinical rating scales, critique their clinimetric properties, and make recommendations regarding their clinical utility. Six clinical researchers and a biostatistician systematically searched the literature for scales of sialorrhea, dysphagia, and constipation, evaluated the scales' previous use, performance parameters, and quality of validation data (if available). A scale was designated "Recommended" if the scale was used in clinical studies beyond the group that developed it, has been specifically used in PD reports, and clinimetric studies have established that it is a valid, reliable, and sensitive. "Suggested" scales met at least part of the above criteria, but fell short of meeting all. Based on the systematic review, scales for individual symptoms of sialorrhea, dysphagia, and constipation were identified along with three global scales that include these symptoms in the context of assessing dysautonomia or nonmotor symptoms. Three sialorrhea scales met criteria for Suggested: Drooling Severity and Frequency Scale (DSFS), Drooling Rating Scale, and Sialorrhea Clinical Scale for PD (SCS-PD). Two dysphagia scales, the Swallowing Disturbance Questionnaire (SDQ) and Dysphagia-Specific Quality of Life (SWAL-QOL), met criteria for Suggested. Although Rome III constipation module is widely accepted in the gastroenterology community, and the earlier version from the Rome II criteria has been used in a single study of PD patients, neither met criteria for Suggested or Recommended. Among the global scales, the Scales for Outcomes in PD-Autonomic (SCOPA-AUT) and Nonmotor Symptoms Questionnaire for PD (NMSQuest) both met criteria for Recommended, and the Nonmotor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) met criteria for Suggested; however, none specifically focuses on the target gastrointestinal symptoms (sialorrhea, dysphagia, and constipation) of this report. A very small number of rating scales have been applied to studies of gastrointestinal-related dysautonomia in PD. Only two scales met "Recommended" criteria and neither focuses specifically on the symptoms of sialorrhea, dysphagia, and constipation. Further scale testing in PD among the scales that focus on these symptoms is warranted, and no new scales are needed until the available scales are fully tested clinimetrically.
