Frequency Analysis and Feature Reduction Method for Prediction of Cerebral Palsy in Young Infants.

The aim of this paper is to achieve a model for prediction of cerebral palsy based on motion data of young infants. The prediction is formulated as a classification problem to assign each of the infants to one of the healthy or with cerebral palsy groups. Unlike formerly proposed features that are mostly defined in the time domain, this study proposes a set of features derived from frequency analysis of infants' motions.

Frequency-based features for early cerebral palsy prediction.

In this paper we aim at predicting cerebral palsy, the most serious and lifelong motor function disorder in children, at an early age by analysing infants' motion data. An essential step for doing so is to extract informative features with high class separability. We propose a set of features derived from frequency analysis of the motion data.

Video-based early cerebral palsy prediction using motion segmentation.

Analysing distinct motion patterns that occur during infancy can be a way through early prediction of cerebral palsy. This analysis can only be performed by well-trained expert clinicians, and hence can not be widespread, specially in poor countries. In order to decrease the need for experts, computer-based methods can be applied.
