Abstract

Gait analysis can be utilized as an effective method for identifying Parkinson's disease (PD) [1]. However, research methods based on the time-domain gait feature analysis are influenced by population characteristics such as individual height, age, and weight, which unfavorably affect PD diagnostic decision-making.

Keywords: Center of pressure; Early-stage PD; Spatio-temporal gait features.
