Abstract

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes movement and behavioral problems. Pharmacological advancements for preventing disease progression have limited success for many PD patients; therefore, supportive care is necessary. The advancement of the digital world and the revolution of computerized applications pave the way for a better understanding of PD and inventing technological apparatus for helping PD patients to provide them a more normal life. In this review, the most recent technological advancements regarding the rehabilitation, monitoring, and early prognosis of PD are presented. Furthermore, the possible neurological mechanisms responsible for the positive effects of technological-based interventions are discussed.
