The aim of this study is to test whether specially developed accelerometer and gyroscope can differentiate pattern of resting postural tremor in healthy and people with multiple sclerosis.
Spectral analysis and the correlation of the average signal spectra will be computed. Moreover, categorization based on the tremor component according to the maximum likelihood estimation will be done.
