dc.description.abstractThe characterization of the upper limb’s kinematics in Parkinsons disease is crucial for the understanding the intricates of motor dysfunction in this exact condition. This research indicates a notable’s deviation in reaching, grasping, and manual dexterity among the Parkinson’s patients, which is marked by diminishing the movements amplitudes, prolonged durations and heightening variability. These kinematic abnormalities don’t only hinder daily activities but also profoundly impact the quality of life. This provides a valuable insight into the limitations experienced by individuals with the disease. These recent years there have been several advancements such as motion capture, wearables sensors which have revolutionized the quantification of the upper limb’s kinematics. By leveraging these technologies to delineate the intricate kinematic profiles associated with PD, personalized treatment strategies can be developed to target specific motor deficits and enhance overall functional capacity. Ultimately, the characterization of upper limb kinematics in PD serves as a cornerstone for optimizing patient care and improving outcomes in this population.en_US
