Computer Vision Technologies in Movement Disorders: A Systematic Review

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Evaluation of movement disorders primarily relies on phenomenology. Despite refinements in diagnostic criteria, the accuracy remains suboptimal. Such a gap may be bridged by machine learning and video technology, which permit objective, quantitative, non‐invasive motor analysis.
