ANN and SVM Classifiers in Identifying Autism Spectrum Disorder Gait Based on Three-Dimensional Ground Reaction Forces

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex and lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that occurs in early childhood and is associated with unusual movement and gait disturbances. An automated and accurate recognition of ASD gait provides assistance in diagnosis and clinical decision-making as well as improving targeted treatment. This paper explores the use of two well-known machine learning classifiers, artificial neural network (ANN) and...
