Psychiatric Patients on Neuroleptics: Evaluation of Parkinsonism and Quantified Assessment of Gait

Abstract

Parkinsonism is very common in hospitalized PPN, but usually milder than that of PD. It seems that wearable sensor-based technology for assessing gait and balance may present a more sensitive and quantitative tool to detect clinical aspects of neuroleptic-induced parkinsonism than standard clinical ratings.
