Original Abstract

One of the most frequent clinical hallmarks of Parkinson's disease (PD) is micrographia. Micrographia in PD is characterized by the decreased letter size and by changes in the kinematic aspects including increased movement time, decreased velocities and accelerations, and increased number of changes in velocity and acceleration. Based on the literature survey we proposed template to acquire handwriting during different tasks. In addition to well established tasks for PD diagnosis such as Archimedean spiral, we designed new tasks to acquire all aspects of micrographia. The database consists of eight different handwriting samples from seventy-five subjects. The presented results shows almost 80% overall classification accuracy.
