Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Acquire high-quality physiological signal characteristics from movement disorder patients.12 Months

Acquisition of high-quality physiological signals from 50 subjects with movement disorders over the course of two weeks and up to thirty subjects over one day with 90% compliance rate as determined by the number of study tasks completed by participants.

Acquire high-quality physiological tremor signals from movement disorder patients.12 Months

Measured by wrist accelerometry, which tracks the acceleration of the patients' wrists and is reported in m/sec\^2 on a scale where 1.0 = 9.8m/s\^2.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Subject feedback12 Months

Subject comfort, compliance, and convenience during the data collection as determined by a post-study assessment asking patients to rate their experience on a scale of 1-5 from hardest and most inconvenient to easiest and least inconvenient.
