Combining features on vertical ground reaction force signal analysis for multiclass diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), which are caused by the degeneration of neurons and their functions, affect a significant part of the world’s population. Although gait disorders are one of the critical and common markers to determine the presence of NDDs, diagnosing which NDD the patients have among a group of NDDs using gait data is still a significant challenge to be addressed. In this study, we addressed the multi-class classification of NDDs and aim to diagnose Parkinson’s disease (PD), Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis disease (AD), and Hunting ton’s disease (HD) from a group containing NDDs and healthy control subjects. We also examined the impact of disease-specific identified features derived from VGRF signals. Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA), Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and Autocorrelation (AC) were used for feature extraction on Vertical Ground Reaction Force (VGRF) signals. To compare the performance of the features, we employed Support Vector Machines, K Nearest Neighbors, and Neural Networks as classifiers. In three-class problem addressing the classification of AD, PDandHD93.3%accuracy rate was achieved, while in the four classes case, in which NDDs and HC groups were considered together, 93.5% accuracy rate was yielded. Considering the disease-specific impact of features, it is revealed that while DFA based features diagnose patients with AD with the highest accuracy, DTW has been shown to be more successful in diagnosing PD. AC based features provided the highest accuracy in diagnosing HD. Although gait disorder is common for NDDs, each disease may have its own distinctive gait rhythms; therefore, it is important to identify disease-specific patterns and parameters for the diagnosis of each disease. To increase the diagnostic accuracy, it is necessary to use a combination of features, which were effective for each disease diagnosis. Determining a limited number of disease-specific features would provide NDD diagnostic systems suitable to be deployed in edge-computing environments.
