Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The main study parameters are spatiotemporal gait parameters (e.g., walking speed, cadence, step length, step time) calculated from the walking data of the HoloLens and a reference motion capture system for healthy subjects and PD patients and of the HoloLens during walking, pre-FOG and FOG episodes for PD patients. Additional main study parameters for the ‘Holocue efficacy study 1’ and ‘Holocue efficacy study 2’ are the number and duration of FOG episodes (as annotated by the research assistants, as measured with the Hololens and as predicted by the classification algorithm).
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary study parameters include clinical test scores, demographic and clinical parameters, and parameters related to usability and patient friendliness.
