- W3129907364 abstract "Objective:Many neurodegenerative diseases have a complex molecular pathway by which the disease develops, and they are not well understood at this time. A biological basis of diagnosis for these diseases have been increasingly studied over the past decade. MRI, CT, PET scans, Cerebral Spinal Fluid analysis, and DaTscan can all aid in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), Parkinson’s Disease (PD), and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). However, in clinical practice, these diseases are, many times, diagnosed through tests that assess cognitive function and motor control. The purpose of this study is to assess motor function and memory of subjects using the tracing of shapes with regions of differing curvature. Background: These tests are largely qualitative and are subject to the judgement of the researcher and assisting physician. In addition, scans and tests like this are only administered to the patient after the disease shows significant symptoms. There have been many studies in the recent past that have focused on doing more quantitative analyses by focusing on handwriting/drawing tasks. Many of these tests have initially proved that there is a strong association between fine motor function and the presence of a neurodegenerative disease. A few shortcomings of these studies include low sample size, incomplete feature extraction from the data, lack of ability to differentiate between two different diseases, accessibility of the tasks to patients, and the lack of diversity in tasks used to assess whether the patient has the disease. I am creating an iPad app that uses pen-tracking to differentiate between neuronormative patients, those with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Multiple Sclerosis. Methods:Two tasks will be used to assess the motor function and memory of subjects. One is purely based on motor function and the other combines both memory and motor function. The first task would include the tracing of a complex, irregular shape with regions of differing curvature. The subject would be asked to do ten tracings of a singular shape at two different speeds: as accurate as possible and as fast as possible. The purpose of the ten tracings is to determine the variation in the person’s drawings and the different speeds can tell us about a person’s ability to control fine hand movements under different “environmental” stressors. Key features that we would be looking at include absolute distance from the true shape, pen pressure, pen angle, velocity, acceleration, jerk, curvature, time till task completion, entropy, and energy. The second task would be memory focused. The subject will see a complex shape on the screen for five seconds. After the five seconds, they would be given 15 seconds to draw the shape on a blank canvas. The same features will be extracted in this task." @default.
