Table 6.

Signals constructed from key-points and used for feature extraction for each of the five bradykinesia items.

MDS-UPDRS item Time-series signal Formula
Finger Tapping Euclidean distance between the thumb-tip key-point and the index finger tip key-point, measured in units of estimated-standing height. Ph(4)Ph(8)H
Hand Movement The area of the convex hull (ACH) of the four finger tips key-points and the palm key-point, measured in units of estimated-standing-height squared (H2). ACHPh(i):i0,8,12,16,20H2
Pronation-Supination The angular velocity of the vector from the thumb-tip key-point to the little-finger-tip key-points, measured in degrees per frame. Vh(4,20)t1,Vh(4,20)t
Toe Tapping The vertical distance between the small toe and the neck, measured in units of estimated-standing height. yb(i)yb(1)H,i=20left23right
Leg Agility The Euclidean distance between the knee key-point and the neck key-point, measured in units of estimated-standing height. Pb(i)Pb(1)H,i=13left10right
