Analyzing Patient Gait in Aging and Neurological Disease

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to collect gait data on patients with neurological disease as well as normal aging individuals. The gait data will be acquired using a camera and a body-worn sensor (APDM Opal). This sensor is the size of a wristwatch and can be worn using custom Velcro bands. The gait data will be assessed using machine learning algorithms to detect meaningful patterns and quantifiable variables.
