Asma Channa, Shakir Shakoor Khatti

Gait impairments are the foremost cause of morbidity in the Parkinson Patients. Due to the characteristics of these gaits varying enormously from normal gait to the freezing of gait, the analysis turns to be very difficult at clinical side. Analyzing gait using the instruments is one of the traditional method giving less accurate results. However, different algorithms and techniques have been implemented recently over the wearable sensor data to analyze, monitor or detect the gait in Parkinson patients. Therefore, the sole purpose of this research study is to explore different techniques used for analyzing gait in Parkinson patients.
