Abstract

Detection of Parkinson’s disease (PD) from the symptom of motor oriented and non-motor oriented anomalies is a very crucial task. One of the reasons behind this disease is the deficiency of dopaminergic neurons in the brain that leads to various neurodegenerative disorders in the human being mostly in an aged person. Vocal impairments to tremors, difficulty in walking are the prominent symptoms found in Parkinson’s disease. Medical scientists and practitioners introduced many biomarkers for ease of diagnosis of PD. This article provides a detailed analysis of various biomarkers such as acoustic, handwriting, Electroencephalography (EEG), and gait signals along with the associated machine learning approaches of PD subjects. This paper also enlightens the symptoms of PD in its various stages and delivers the information about the popular rating scales mostly referred by the medical practitioners during the diagnosis process.
