Human Gait Analysis for Neurodegenerative Diseases
摘要
Gait analysis is a well-established approach to detecting motor dysfunction in neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s disease (PD), Huntington’s disease (HD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Most research has targeted spatiotemporal gait variability; however, demographic factors such as age, gender, height, weight, and BMI have been poorly explored. This study combines demographic characteristics with gait descriptors by employing machine learning to enhance classification performance. The results point to the clinical potential of demographic-conscious models for scalable, early, and interpretable diagnostics.
