Can digital mobility assessment enhance the clinical assessment of disease severity in Parkinson's disease?
Background: Real-world walking speed (RWS) measured using wearable devices has the potential to complement the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS III) for motor assessment in Parkinson's disease (PD). Objective: Explore cross-sectional and...

| Sumario: | Background: Real-world walking speed (RWS) measured using wearable devices has the potential to complement the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS III) for motor assessment in Parkinson's disease (PD). Objective: Explore cross-sectional and longitudinal differences in RWS between PD and older adults (OAs), and whether RWS was related to motor disease severity cross-sectionally, and if MDS-UPDRS III was related to RWS, longitudinally. Methods: 88 PD and 111 OA participants from ICICLE-GAIT (UK) were included. RWS was evaluated using an accelerometer at four time points. RWS was aggregated within walking bout (WB) duration thresholds. Between-group-comparisons in RWS between PD and OAs were conducted cross-sectionally, and longitudinally with mixed effects models (MEMs). Cross-sectional association between RWS and MDS-UPDRS III was explored using linear regression, and longitudinal association explored with MEMs. Results: RWS was significantly lower in PD (1.04 m/s) in comparison to OAs (1.10 m/s) cross-sectionally. RWS significantly decreased over time for both cohorts and decline was more rapid in PD by 0.02 m/s per year. Significant negative relationship between RWS and the MDS-UPDRS III only existed at a specific WB threshold (30 to 60 s, β= - 3.94 points, p = 0.047). MDS-UPDRS III increased significantly by 1.84 points per year, which was not related to change in RWS. Conclusion: Digital mobility assessment of gait may add unique information to quantify disease progression remotely, but further validation in research and clinical settings is needed. |
