In this paper, we investigated whether we can 1) detect participants with ataxia-specific gait characteristics (risk-prediction), and 2) assess severity of ataxia from gait (severity-assessment) using computer vision. We created a dataset…
Parkinson's Disease (PD) often results in motor and cognitive impairments, including gait dysfunction, particularly in patients with freezing of gait (FOG). Current detection methods are either subjective or reliant on specialized gait…
Musculoskeletal diseases and cognitive impairments in patients lead to difficulties in movement as well as negative effects on their psychological health. Clinical gait analysis, a vital tool for early diagnosis and treatment, traditionally…
This paper presents a human gait data collection for analysis and activity recognition consisting of continues recordings of combined activities, such as walking, running, taking stairs up and down, sitting down, and so on; and the data…
Freezing of gait (FoG) is a common gait disability in Parkinson's disease, that usually appears in its advanced stage. Freeze episodes are associated with falls, injuries, and psychological consequences, negatively affecting the patients'…
A functional linear discriminant analysis approach to classify a set of kinematic data (human movement curves of individuals performing different physical activities) is performed. Kinematic data, usually collected in linear acceleration or…
Gait disorders are commonly observed in older adults, who frequently experience various issues related to walking. Additionally, researchers and clinicians extensively investigate mobility related to gait in typically and atypically…
Gait analysis provides an objective characterization of locomotor function and is widely used to support diagnosis and rehabilitation monitoring across neurological and orthopedic disorders. Deep learning has been increasingly applied to…
Freezing of gait (FOG) is one of the most incapacitating symptoms in Parkinsons disease, affecting more than 50 percent of patients in advanced stages of the disease. The presence of FOG may lead to falls and a loss of independence with a…
The entire movement of human body undergoes through a periodic process named Gait Cycle. The structure of human foot is the key element to complete the cycle successfully. Abnormality of this foot structure is an alarming form of congenital…
The present study introduces a method for improving the classification performance of imbalanced multiclass data streams from wireless body worn sensors. Data imbalance is an inherent problem in activity recognition caused by the irregular…
In this paper, an explainable deep learning-based classifier based on adaptive sinc filters for Parkinson's Disease diagnosis (PD) along with determining its severity, based on analyzing the gait cycle (SincPD) is presented. Considering the…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder primarily affecting motor function resulting in tremor at rest, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. The physical severity of PD impairments can be quantified…
Passive and non-obtrusive health monitoring using wearables can potentially bring new insights into the user's health status throughout the day and may support clinical diagnosis and treatment. However, identifying segments of free-living…
Robotics system for rehabilitation of movement disorders and motion assistance are gaining increased intention. In this scenario estimation of ground contact is an active area of research in robotics and healthcare. This article addresses…
Early detection of neurodegenerative disorders is an important open problem, since early diagnosis and treatment may yield a better prognosis. Researchers have recently sought to leverage advances in machine learning algorithms to detect…
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is associated with gait movement disorders, such as bradykinesia, stiffness, tremors and postural instability, caused by progressive dopamine deficiency. Today, some approaches have implemented learning…
Doppler radar systems enable unobtrusive and privacy-preserving long-term monitoring of human motions indoors. In particular, a person's gait can provide important information about their state of health. Utilizing micro-Doppler signatures,…
Gait recognition is an important recognition technology, because gait is not easy to camouflage and does not need cooperation to recognize subjects. However, many existing methods are inadequate in preserving both temporal information and…
Abnormal gait, its associated falls and complications have high patient morbidity, mortality. Computer vision detects, predicts patient gait abnormalities, assesses fall risk and serves as clinical decision support tool for physicians. This…
