Gait Detection for Slow Walking Population
Gait Detection for Slow Walking Population
This project is targeting at Parkinson's Disease population. They walk at a slow speed. But current sensors may not take the walk speed into consideration. Thus, we conducted an experimental study to identify which sensor should be used for the slow walking population. My role in this project was developing the algorithm based on PAA and SAX for all the sensors we tested in the study.
The results were published in Gait & Posture:
