Abstract

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a movement disorder that affects the patient's nervous system and health-care applications mostly uses wearable sensors to collect these data. Since these sensors generate time stamped data, analyzing gait disturbances in PD becomes challenging task. The objective of this paper is to develop an effective clinical decision-making system (CDMS) that aids the physician in diagnosing the severity of gait disturbances in PD affected patients. This paper presents a Q-backpropagated time delay neural network (Q-BTDNN) classifier that builds a temporal classification model, which performs the task of classification and prediction in CDMS. The proposed Q-learning induced backpropagation (Q-BP) training algorithm trains the Q-BTDNN by generating a reinforced error signal. The network's weights are adjusted through backpropagating the generated error signal. For experimentation, the proposed work uses a PD gait database, which contains gait measures collected through wearable sensors from three different PD research studies. The experimental result proves the efficiency of Q-BP in terms of its improved classification accuracy of 91.49%, 92.19% and 90.91% with three datasets accordingly compared to other neural network training algorithms.

    The Experimental settings section describes a neural-network classifier using data from 16 sensors to assess Parkinson’s gait disturbances. But the Dataset description identifies those sensors as force-sensitive devices in shoe insoles measuring vertical ground reaction force, not accelerometers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
