Home detection of freezing of gait using support vector machines through a single waist-worn triaxial accelerometer
Among Parkinson's disease (PD) symptoms, freezing of gait (FoG) is one of the most debilitating. To assess FoG, current clinical practice mostly employs repeated evaluations over weeks and months based on questionnaires, which may not accurately map the severity of this symptom. The use of a non-invasive system to monitor the activities of daily living (ADL) and the PD symptoms experienced by p...
متن کاملPosture Detection with waist-worn Accelerometer: An application to improve Freezing of Gait detection in Parkinson’s disease patients
Freezing of Gait (FoG) is one of the most disturbing symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Current algorithms that detect this symptom depend on frequency features extracted from wearable systems. These algorithms have only been evaluated under laboratory conditions and, in real life, they might present false positives, reducing the reliability of the algorithm. This paper presents the evaluati...
متن کاملComparison of low-complexity fall detection algorithms for body attached accelerometers.
The elderly population is growing rapidly. Fall related injuries are a central problem for this population. Elderly people desire to live at home, and thus, new technologies, such as automated fall detectors, are needed to support their independence and security. The aim of this study was to evaluate different low-complexity fall detection algorithms, using triaxial accelerometers attached at t...
متن کاملIs "frequency distribution" enough to detect tremor in PD patients using a wrist worn accelerometer?
This paper presents two approaches on detecting tremor in patients with Parkinson’s Disease by means of a wrist-worn accelerometer. Both approaches are evaluated in terms of specificity and sensitivity as well as their applicability for a real-time implementation. One approach is solely based on the frequency distribution of a windowed time series, while the second approach utilizes commonly em...
متن کاملDifferent Location of Triaxial Accelerometer and Different Energy Expenditures
PURPOSE We performed a study to determine the best appropriate wearing site of a triaxial accelerometer at different exercise speeds. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted an observational study with 66 healthy Korean adults (26 men and 40 women). Resting metabolic rate (RMR) before exercise, physical activity-related energy expenditure (PAEE) by cardiorespiratory gas analyzer and Signal Vector ...
