Freezing of Gait (FOG) is a common impairment in patients with advanced PD, leading to falls and injuries that impact the quality of life for both patients and their families. Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) can aid in overcoming FOG and restoring normal gait. A system using accelerometer sensors is proposed for predicting and detecting FOG with minimal latency for initiating RAS, showing significant performance improvement compared to existing techniques.
Freezing of Gait (FOG) is an impairment that affects the majority of patients in the advanced stages of Parkinson's Disease (PD). FOG can lead to sudden falls and injuries, negatively impacting the quality of life for the patients and their families. Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) can be used to help patients recover from FOG and resume normal gait. RAS might be ineffective due to the latency between the start of a FOG event, its detection and initialization of RAS. We propose a system capable of both FOG prediction and detection using signals from tri-axial accelerometer sensors that will be useful in initializing RAS with minimal latency. We compared the performance of several time frequency analysis techniques, including moving windows extracted from the signals, handcrafted features, Recurrence Plots (RP), Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT), Discreet Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Pseudo Wigner Ville Distribution (PWVD) with Deep Learning (DL) based Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). We also propose three Ensemble Network Architectures that combine all the time frequency representations and DL architectures. Experimental results show that our ensemble architectures significantly improve the performance compared with existing techniques. We also present the results of applying our method trained on a publicly available dataset to data collected from patients using wearable sensors in collaboration with A.T. Still University.
