Abstract
Parkinson's disease is said to be the excess output of basal ganglia (inhibitory system) which comes from the lack of dopamine by the degeneration of substantia nigra in the midbrain. Many kind of motion analyses have been studied to detect the early symptoms because that excess inhibitory to the motion neurons cause the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. On the other hand, DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) to the subthalamic nucleus is applied as the symptomatic treatment. This paper investigates the validation the cure effect of the DBS using the motion analysis of the pronospination of forearms.
