Detecting Huntington Patient Using Chaotic Features of Gait Time Series

Abstract

<em>Huntington's disease (HD) is a congenital, progressive, neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive, motor, and psychological disorders. Clinical diagnosis of HD relies on the manifestation of movement abnormalities. In this study, we introduce a mathematical method for HD detection using step spacing. We used 16 walking signals as control and 20 walking signals as HD. We took a step back from the walking distance signals. Then, using fractal dimensions and statistical features, the control was classified and HD and 97.22% accuracy were obtained.</em>
