Background: Muscle rigidity is one of the basic characteristic of PD and which is defined as an increase in resistance to passive stretch of muscle. In an early stage of PD, clinical assessment of rigidity is commonly performed with the rigidity item in the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UDPRS). However, the UDPRS is time-consuming and also deficient in reliability and reproducibility due to inter and intra-observer variability. Objective: The purpose of this study is to develop a torque based measurement system of muscle rigidity which can be used in early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) in a quantitative manner. Method: To validate the torque based method, human arm was modeled and tested with one healthy male subject by passive flexion of the elbow joint. Torque and angle data in the dynamic phase were used to calculate elastic coefficients in flexion. Results: The present study designed a compact, portable, and precise system based upon a glove type device. Our system is composed of compact force sensor and a gyroscope. Application: A new muscle rigidity measurement system can be used for an early diagnosis of PD in terms of an elastic coefficient of muscle.
