By analyzing data on PD patients and healthy controls collected over one year, the researchers found that brain regions closely connected to subcortical regions showed the most degeneration over the one-year period in PD patients, and that this happens earlier than previously thought.</p> Thu, 11 Jan 2018 15:37:18 +0000 mona.noonoo@mail.mcgill.ca 32826 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/gaming-camera-could-aid-ms-treatment-262056 <p><a href="/newsroom/"><strong><em>看片视频 Newsroom</em></strong></a></p> <p><em>3D depth-sensing camera shown to measure walking difficulties</em></p> <p>A commonly used device found in living rooms around the world could be a cheap and effective means of evaluating the walking difficulties of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients.</p> <p>The Microsoft Kinect is a 3D depth-sensing camera used in interactive video activities such as tennis and dancing.
