Parkinson's Disease Wearable Gait Analysis: Kinematic and Dynamic Markers for Diagnosis.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Gait features differ between Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy subjects (HS). Kinematic alterations of gait include reduced gait speed, swing time, and stride length between PD patients and HS. Stride time and swing time variability are increased in PD patients with respect to HS. Additionally, dynamic parameters of asymmetry of gait are significantly different among the two groups. The aim of the present study is to evaluate which kind of gait analysis (dynamic or kinematic) is more informative to discriminate PD and HS gait features. Methods: In the present study, we analyzed gait dynamic and kinematic features of 108 PD patients and 88 HS from four cohorts of two datasets. Results: Kinematic features showed statistically significant differences amon
