Inclusion Criteria

Inclusion criteria for Parkinson patients:
- diagnosed Parkinson's disease according to the UK BrainBank Clinical Diagnosis Criteria
- No diagnosed further neurological disease or disease of the locomotor system
- motor symptoms for at least two years
- healthy skin at the body positions where sensors are attached
- The subject must be able to walk 20 m without aids

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Analysis of movement data with regard to characteristic values, which allows a classification of the severity of the disease.<br>The movements of subjects are recorded during the a) diadochokinetic exercise and the b) stand-up-and-go test with 8 inertial sensors on the extremities. The recording is carried out with inertial measuring units (as typically used by fitness tracker), which transmit the data via Bluetooth to smartphone. Immediately after a patient's visit, a check is made to see if the data set is complete and error-free. For this purpose, all data is displayed as a diagram over time and evaluated by a trained employee. Goal is to record 35 complete data sets.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
This is a pilot study in which the basic suitability of the recorded data is to be investigated. Each patient is usually examined only once. A patient is completed when all four described motion tests have been successfully recorded.
