Academic Mobility (Students and Faculty):
All the study and work missions planned within the project were successfully completed, thereby achieving the objective of promoting academic mobility for both students and faculty members. Throughout the project, various exchange opportunities were created, allowing students and faculty to participate in academic activities such as seminars, conferences, and courses at the international partner institution.
Development of a Human-Machine Interface for Assessing Motor Symptoms in Parkinson’s Disease:
The device (a sensor-equipped glove) was developed and duly validated, demonstrating both its effectiveness and reliability. It is currently used as a key component in controlling a serious game, contributing to interaction and supporting the proposed objectives within the application context.
Creation of a Multidimensional Assessment Questionnaire for People with Parkinson’s Disease:
The questionnaire was designed and its structure validated using a standard method, factor analysis. The final version of the tool includes 71 questions organized into three main dimensions: motor aspects, cognitive aspects, and pain. This structure ensures the questionnaire comprehensively and accurately addresses the relevant topics.
Development of a Serious Game for the Evaluation and Motor Training of People with Parkinson’s Disease:
The game was created and validated for usability and accessibility. It allows for the evaluation of motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and offers training/rehabilitation for users’ hands and wrists. The interactive platform enables patients to perform specific exercises, monitor their progress, and support the improvement of functionality in limbs affected by the disease.
Objective Evaluation of Motor Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease:
Data analysis and processing strategies using inertial sensor recordings were studied and evaluated. These approaches enabled the quantification and assessment of the three main motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease: bradykinesia, tremor, and rigidity. This allows for more accurate tracking of symptom progression and customization of treatment plans for patients.
Publication of Scientific Articles to Disseminate Results:
More than 20 papers were published, including articles in high-impact scientific journals and presentations at international conferences, which helped share the results of this project with the global scientific community.
