ASSITIVE MACHINE FOR PARKINSON’S
DISEASE

2. Selected Problem Statement
• Parkinson's disease (PD) is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous
system that mainly affects the motor system.
The symptoms generally come on slowly over time.
• the most obvious are shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement, and difficulty with walking.
The cause of Parkinson's disease is generally unknown, but believed to
involve both genetic and environmental factors.
• The motor symptoms of the disease result from the death of cells in the substantia nigra, a
region of the midbrain.
• This results in not enough dopamine in these areas. The reason for this cell death is poorly
understood, but involves the build-up of proteins into Lewy bodies in the neurons.
Assistive device for Parkinson’s patient

3. Available solution
 Automatic stabilized spoon for shaking hand .

4. Proposed solution
 Since Parkinson's disease is caused due to the dead cells in the
substantia nigra, a region of the midbrain. The brain lacks in
dopamine releasement, which results in the lack of co-ordination
of central nervous system and the brain.
 So, substances like 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), 1-methyl-
4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) can be
injected through bloodstream which can trigger the
dopamine, which helps in the co-ordination.
 Another solution is building automated gloves to stop
the hand shivering .

5. Methodology used
 To build the automated anti-shivering gloves, an 3D-
accelerometer is the basic ideology of the prototype. A stepper
motor is used to stabilize the hand and spoon at definite angles of
magnitude.
 Arduino Mega (DUE) is used to provide the Iot support to the
ideology.
 So, when the hand starts to shake the accelerometer works as a
gyroscope which send the signal inputs to the stepper motor
which then rotates the hand and the spoon simultaneously and
results in the proper co-ordination of the wrist.

6. Advantages of the proposed work
 The patient won’t feel inferior because of their disease
they will be able to do everything the wish.
 It is cost efficient than the product available in market.
