abstract

the aim of this work is to use self organizing map (som) for clustering of locomotion kinetic characteristics in normal and parkinson’s disease. the classification and analysis of the kinematic characteristics of human locomotion has been greatly increased by the use of artificial neural networks in recent years. the proposed methodology aims at overcoming the constraints of traditional analysis methods and to find new clinical ways for observing the large amount of information obtained in a gait lab. self organizing maps (som) also called kohonen maps are a special kind of neural networks that can be used for clustering tasks. the results are shown in the terms of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, error rate from the two groups of features which are the mean coefficient of variation and mean sum of variation and mean max and mean standard deviation of the ground reaction force. results showing the potential of this technique for distinguishing between population of individuals with normal gait and with gait disorders of different causes of disease

Identification of gait patterns with self-organizing maps based on ground reaction force

A novel approach to gait pattern classification is presented. Based on data collected from patients at an rehabilitation centre we achieve a clustering according to various gait malfunctions by using self-organizing maps. The major benefit of such an approach is that the learning process ends up with a classification of gait malfunctions without the need of the tremendous effort to define a bio...

Vertical Ground Reaction Force Gait Patterns During Walking in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders

The characteristics of vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) gait patterns in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to identify VGRF gait features that discriminate between children with ASD and the peer control group. The VGRF data were obtained from 30 children with ASD and 30 normal healthy children aged 4 to 12 years. A three-dime...
