Abstract Freezing of Gait (FOG) is the most common and disabling gait disorder in patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), which seriously affects the life quality and social function of patients. This paper proposes a FOG recognition method based on the Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD). Firstly, VMD instead of the traditional time-frequency analysis method to complete adaptive decomposition to the FOG signal. Secondly, to improve the accuracy and speed of the recognition algorithm, use the CART model as the base classifier and perform the feature dimension reduction. Then use the RUSBoost ensemble algorithm to solve the problem… More >

Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD), classified under the category of a neurological syndrome, affects the brain of a person which leads to the motor and non-motor symptoms. Among motor symptoms, one of the major disabling symptom is Freezing of Gait (FoG) that affects the daily standard of living of PD patients. Available treatments target to improve the symptoms of PD. Detection of PD at the early stages is an arduous task due to being indistinguishable from a healthy individual. This work proposed a novel attention-based model for the detection of FoG events and PD, and measuring the… More >
