How redesigning AD clinical trials might increase study partners' willingness to participate.

abstract：:We applied quantitative methods to measure extrapyramidal signs in 50 Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and 40 age-matched control subjects. We measured tremor using accelerometers, bradykinesia using computer-detected reaction times (RTs) and movement times (MTs), and rigidity using a strain gauge linked to a movable...
