i can finger tap differently every hour even when my sinemet is working well so i would think you need more measurements than that, i can also be in a terrible brain fog and finger tap well.

Just some other possibilities...
How to tell some one has PD? Google SWEDD. No one can tell what PD is let alone if we have it. We have no scientific basis to tell that even upon autopsy. There is no proof that patient driven data is any more erroneous than clinical diagnosis.
As to the tapping test, this is the only type of measurement that science and medicine currently offer neurologists, so I do not how that is inherently better than anything patients might come up with.
