The study compares different data reduction methods and classification methods for clinical use. The best accuracy achieved is 98% by a random forest classifier preprocessed by t-distributed stochastic neighbour embedding.
Gait disorders accompany a number of neurological and musculoskeletal disorders that significantly reduce the quality of life. Motion sensors enable high-quality modelling of gait stereotypes. However, they produce large volumes of data, the evaluation of which is a challenge. In this publication, we compare different data reduction methods and classification of reduced data for use in clinical practice. The best accuracy achieved between a group of healthy individuals and patients with ataxic gait extracted from the records of 43 participants (23 ataxic, 20 healthy), forming 418 segments of straight gait pattern, is 98% by random forest classifier preprocessed by t-distributed stochastic neighbour embedding.
