The present work concerns with the problem of recording and analyzing biomedical data characterizing motor activities of the limbs in patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease. The aim of the paper is the individuation of suitable parameters useful for detecting subjects affected by Parkinson’s disease, revealing the state of the patient. So, a simple and inexpensive system that measures the force of palmar grip is presented and discussed and a suitable software protocol able to record and manage the acquired data is developed. Finally, some biomedical parameters have been identified, characterizing motor activities of limbs. The study of these parameters and the analysis of the correlations between the acquired data, permits to take out useful information and details about objective evaluation of Parkinson pathology, taking into account the metrological characteristics of the used measurement system.

Abstract
The present work concerns with the problem of recording and analyzing biomedical data characterizing motor activities of the limbs in patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease. The aim of the paper is the individuation of suitable parameters useful for detecting subjects affected by Parkinson’s disease, revealing the state of the patient. So, a simple and inexpensive system that measures the force of palmar grip is presented and discussed and a suitable software protocol able to record and manage the acquired data is developed. Finally, some biomedical parameters have been identified, characterizing motor activities of limbs. The study of these parameters and the analysis of the correlations between the acquired data, permits to take out useful information and details about objective evaluation of Parkinson pathology, taking into account the metrological characteristics of the used measurement system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
