Reviewer 4 Report
This paper did an evaluation on the Harmonic distortion aspects in the upper limb swings when a PD patient walking. The work is great, and I think this paper can be accepted after a minor revision.
1. A description about the arrangement of the paper should be added at the end of Introduction.
2.More information about the wearable devices should be given, e.g. size, weight and comfort of wearing, which may influence the walking patterns of volunteers. A photo for the wearing state is better.
3.PO, PO-OFF and PO-PO appear in the texts and Table 3. Do they indicate the same group? Unifying them or provide an explanation.
Author Response
Thank you for your comment. The “Introduction” is now updated accordingly.
More detailes are given in section 2.2.
PO-PO was a typo, now corrected in PD-OFF.
