Characterization of subclinical tremor in Parkinson's disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The physiological or pathological nature of subclinical tremor amplitude in Parkinson's disease (PD) is not well established. We analyzed characteristics of resting and postural tremors of subclinical amplitude in 17 patients with idiopathic PD without visible resting tremor, having a postural tremor in their least-affected hand rated 0 (12 subjects) or 1 (5 subjects) on Item 21 of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, compared to 17 control subjects matched for age, sex, and handedness. Tremor was recorded at the tip of the index finger using a displacement laser transducer. Overall results show that subclinical resting tremor in PD is significantly different from physiological tremor in terms of amplitude fluctuation, frequency dispersion, harmonic index, and proportional power in 4 to 6 Hz. No significant differences were found for postural tremor. These differences appear to originate mainly from patients with the mixed form of the disease. This study also confirms the preservation of physiological tremor likely originating from a distinct central oscillator in PD. The use of this method in the early and detailed characterization of PD tremors when amplitude is still within normal limits is proposed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
