Capturing Parkinson's Disease Medication Side Effects During Daily Activities

The purpose of the study is to test whether body-worn wireless motion sensors can measure dyskinesias (involuntary movements caused by medications) in individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) independent of voluntary activity being performed and other PD motor symptoms (e.g. tremor).
