Comparison of UPDRS- versus Kinesia-based sample size calculation according to ICC differences

Parkinsonian feature Clinician ICC Kinesia ICC Percent fewer subjects Number of subjects based on Clinician Number of subjects based on Kinesia
Rest Tremor 0.63 0.68 7.5 100 93
Postural Tremor 0.68 0.71 3.9 100 96
Speed 0.62 0.94 34.6 100 65
Amplitude 0.72 0.94 23.3 100 77
Rhythm 0.45 0.63 28.3 100 72

Based on ICC differences and the model described in Perkins et al. [31], Kinesia could reduce the number of subjects required for a clinical trial compared to trials using clinician UPDRS scores (numbers in the two right-most columns assume 100 subjects would be required if clinician scores were used).
