This book describes the range of technologies that have been developed for diagnosing and assessing Parkinson’s disease patients. Also presenting the latest studies providing insights into the changes to the neural system in Parkinson’s disease, it is a valuable resource for neurologists, general practitioners and nurses. Further, the book highlights areas that require more research, and as such will appeal to researchers, biomedical engineers and clinicians.
