Abstract

For many diseases various methods for the diagnosis and treatment monitoring are available. Presently, such methods are not established for an investigation of tremor diseases, although the different forms of tremor are common neurological symptoms and occur frequently in various neurological diseases and also other conditions. We developed an easy-to-use application for tremor-analysis and recording, running under MS-Windows, that allows us to investigate different forms of tremor by advanced mathematical methods of time series analysis. The application is also applicable for users who are not familiar with these kind of advanced data analysis methods. It provides tools for the diagnosis and treatment monitoring under laboratory conditions, based on previously developed and established methods of spectral and cross spectral analysis of tremor and electromyographic time series.
