(1) Background: Resting tremor is a motor manifestation present in most Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. For its assessment, several scales have been created, but mobile applications could help in objectively assessing resting tremor in PD patients in person and/or remotely in a more ecological scenario. (2) Methods: a systematic review following the PRISMA recommendations was conducted in scientific databases (PubMed, Medline, Science Direct, Academic Search Premier, and Web of Science) and in the main mobile application markets (Google Play, iOS App Store, and Windows Store) to determine the applications available for the assessment of resting tremor in patients with PD using only the measurement components of the phone itself (accelerometers and gyroscopes). (3) Results: 14 articles that used mobile apps to assess resting tremor in PD were included, and 13 apps were identified in the mobile application markets for the same purpose. The risk of bias and of applicability concerns of the articles analyzed was low. Mobile applications found in the app markets met an average of 85.09% of the recommendations for the development of medical mobile applications. (4) Conclusions: the use of mobile applications for the evaluation of resting tremor in PD patients has great potential, but validation studies for this purpose are scarce.
(1)背景:静止性震颤是大多数帕金森病(PD)患者存在的一种运动表现。为了评估静止性震颤,已经创建了几种量表,但移动应用程序可以帮助在更自然的场景中亲自和/或远程客观地评估PD患者的静止性震颤。(2)方法:按照PRISMA建议在科学数据库(PubMed、Medline、Science Direct、Academic Search Premier和Web of Science)以及主要移动应用市场(谷歌应用商店、iOS应用商店和Windows应用商店)进行系统评价,以确定仅使用手机本身的测量组件(加速度计和陀螺仪)来评估PD患者静止性震颤的可用应用程序。(3)结果:纳入了14篇使用移动应用程序评估PD患者静止性震颤的文章,并在移动应用市场中确定了13个用于相同目的的应用程序。所分析文章的偏倚风险和适用性问题较低。在应用市场中发现的移动应用程序平均符合医疗移动应用程序开发建议的85.09%。(4)结论:使用移动应用程序评估PD患者的静止性震颤具有很大潜力,但为此目的的验证研究很少。
