【 摘 要 】

Parkinson’s disease makes lives challenging every day due to the evolving and progressive motor symptoms such as tremors, slow movements, postural instability, and stiffness. These physical symptoms can then in turn affect the thoughts, leading to a state of depression. Tremor is an involuntary, unintended, periodic movement of the muscle of one or more parts of the body and can affect the head, legs, or arms, but predominantly affects the hands. This paper provides an overview on controlling the Parkinson’s tremor in the hand through assistive methodologies. Noninvasive low cost assistive devices are considered to reduce the hand tremor caused by Parkinson’s disease. Artificial Intelligence tools offer insights to evaluate speech disorders of Parkinson’s patients. It can also identify them based on facial expressions.
