Parkinson’s disease (PD) decreases the quality of life of the affected individuals. The incidence of PD is expected to increase given the growing aging population. Motor symptoms associated with PD render the patients unable to self-care and function properly. Given that several drugs have been developed to control motor symptoms, highly sensitive scales for clinical evaluation of drug efficacy are needed. Among such scales, the objective and continuous evaluation of wearable devices is increasingly utilized by clinicians and patients. Several electronic technologies have revolutionized the clinical monitoring of PD development, especially its motor symptoms. Here, we review and discuss the recent advances in the development of wearable devices for bradykinesia, tremor, gait, and myotonia. Our aim is to capture the experiences of patients and clinicians, as well as expand our understanding on the application of wearable technology. In so-doing, we lay the foundation for further research into the use of wearable technology in the management of PD.

帕金森氏病中可穿戴传感器的评估：现状和未来展望

帕金森氏病（PD）降低了受影响个体的生活质量。随着人口老龄化的增长，PD的发病率预计会增加。与PD相关的运动症状使患者无法自我护理和正常运作。鉴于已开发出几种控制运动症状的药物，因此需要用于临床疗效评估的高度敏感的量表。在这样的量表中，临床医生和患者越来越多地利用对可穿戴设备的客观和持续的评估。几种电子技术彻底改变了PD发育的临床监测，尤其是其运动症状。在这里，我们回顾和讨论用于运动迟缓，震颤，步态和肌强直的可穿戴设备的最新进展。我们的目的是捕捉患者和临床医生的经验，并扩大我们对可穿戴技术应用的理解。这样，我们为进一步研究可穿戴技术在PD管理中的使用奠定了基础。
