Abstract
Abstract Idiopathic REM sleep Behavior Disorder (iRBD) is a condition at high risk of developing Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other alpha-synucleinopathies. The aim of the study was to evaluate subtle turning alterations by using Mobile health technology in iRBD individuals without subthreshold parkinsonism. A total of 148 participants (23 persons with polysomnography-confirmed iRBD without subthreshold parkinsonism, 60 drug-naïve PD patients, and 65 age-matched controls were included in this prospective cross-sectional study. All underwent a multidimensional assessment including cognitive and non-motor symptoms assessment. Then a Timed-Up-and-Go test (TUG) at normal and fast speed was performed using mobile health technology on the lower back (Rehagait®, Hasomed, Germany). Duration, mean, and peak angular velocities of the turns were compared using a multivariate model correcting for age and sex. Compared to controls, PD patients showed longer turn durations and lower mean and peak angular velocities of the turns in both TUGs (all p ≤ 0.001). iRBD participants also showed a longer turn duration and lower mean (p = 0.006) and peak angular velocities (p
