Real-Time Freezing of Gait Prediction and Detection in Parkinson's Disease.

Sensors (Basel)

December 2024

School of Human Kinetics, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON K1N 6N5, Canada.

Freezing of gait (FOG) is a walking disturbance that can lead to postural instability, falling, and decreased mobility in people with Parkinson's disease. This research used machine learning to predict and detect FOG episodes from plantar-pressure data and compared the performance of decision tree ensemble classifiers when trained on three different datasets. Dataset 1 ( = 11) was collected in a previous study.

Background: Electromyography (EMG) can estimate the magnitude and timing of muscle activation during walking in those with gait disorders. Despite the potential of EMG use in assessment and clinical decision-making, there are reports of declining use of EMG within gait laboratories. Technical and educational barriers to EMG usage in clinics in Italy were recently suggested.

To explore trajectories of 12-week adherence to a digital education and exercise therapy for knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA), associations with baseline characteristics, and trajectories of patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) up to 1-year follow-up. Retrospective cohort (registry) study. Weekly data on adherence (ie, the percentage of completed activities [exercises, lessons, and quizzes]) were obtained over 12 weeks (n = 14 097).

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on identifying valid digital-motor outcome measures using wearable sensors for spastic paraplegia type 7 (SPG7), a common spastic ataxia, aiming to reflect health aspects relevant to patients in early disease stages and suitable for multicenter trials.
  • Gait analysis was performed in 65 SPG7 patients and 50 healthy controls, where 18 out of 30 analyzed gait measures effectively discriminated between the two groups, even in mild disease stages.
  • Key findings highlighted that specific spatiotemporal variability measures strongly correlate with functional mobility and overall disease severity, indicating their potential as sensitive outcome measures for future trials.
