Motion tracking and gait feature estimation for recognising Parkinson’s disease using MS Kinect

Analysis of gait features provides important information during the treatment of neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease. It is also used to observe the effects of medication and rehabilitation. The methodology presented in this paper enables the detection of selected gait attributes by Microsoft (MS) Kinect image and depth sensors to track movements in three-dimensional space.The experimental part of the paper is devoted to the...
