Phase I Study: Monitoring Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia Using Accelerometer & Gyroscope-based Motion Detection System

The purpose of the study is to test whether body-worn wireless motion sensors can measure dyskinesias (involuntary movements caused by medications) in individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) independent of voluntary activity being performed and other PD motor symptoms (e.g. tremor).
