Monitoring of Parkinson's Patients Gait Using Simple Walker Based Motion Sensing and Data Analysis

摘要

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative disease with diverse clinical features. At present, there is no definitive test for the diagnosis of PD [1]. Instead, PD is diagnosed using clinical criteria which are based on the presence and presentation of signs such as rest tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, loss of postural reflexes, shuffling gait and freezing, as well as non-motor symptoms.
