Nowadays, there are several diseases which affect different systems of the body, producing changes in the correct functioning of the organism and the people lifestyles. One of them is Parkinson's disease (PD), which is defined as a neurodegenerative disorder provoked by the destruction of dopaminergic neurons in the brain, resulting in a set of motor and non-motor symptoms. As this disease affects principally to ancient people, several researchers have studied different treatments and therapies for stopping neurodegeneration and diminishing symptoms, to improve the quality patients' lives. The most common therapies created for PD are based on pharmacological treatment for controlling the degeneration advance and the physical ones which do not reveal the progress of patients. For this reason, this review paper opens the possibility for using wearable motion capture systems as an option for the control and study of PD. Therefore, it aims to (1) study the different wearable systems used for capture the movements of PD patients and (2) determine which of them bring better results for monitoring and assess PD people. For the analysis, it uses papers based on experiments that prove the functioning of several motion systems in different aspects as monitoring, treatment and diagnose of the disease. As a result, it works with 30 papers which describe the factors mentioned before. Additionally, the paper uses journals and literature review about the pathology, its characteristics and the function of wearable sensors for the correct understanding of the topic.
如今，有几种疾病会影响身体的不同系统，导致机体正常功能发生变化和人们生活方式的改变。其中之一是帕金森病（PD），它被定义为一种由大脑中多巴胺能神经元破坏引起的神经退行性疾病，导致一系列运动和非运动症状。由于这种疾病主要影响老年人，因此许多研究人员研究了不同的治疗方法和疗法，以阻止神经退行性变并减轻症状，从而提高患者的生活质量。为 PD 创造的最常见的治疗方法基于控制疾病进展和物理疗法的药物治疗，这些治疗方法无法揭示患者的进展。出于这个原因，本综述论文为使用可穿戴运动捕捉系统作为控制和研究 PD 的一种选择提供了可能性。因此，它旨在：(1) 研究用于捕捉 PD 患者运动的不同可穿戴系统；(2) 确定它们中的哪些系统在监测和评估 PD 患者方面带来更好的结果。在分析中，它使用基于实验的论文来证明多种运动系统在监测、治疗和诊断疾病方面的不同功能。因此，它使用了 30 篇描述上述因素的论文。此外，本文还使用了关于该病理学、其特征和可穿戴传感器功能的期刊和文献综述，以正确理解该主题。
