  • In recent times the adverse impact of Parkinson’s disease (PD) getting worse and worse with the increasing rate of old age population through out the world. This disease is the second common neurological disorder and has a tremendous economical and social impact because the cost associated with the healthcare as well as service is extremely high. The diagnosis process of this disease mostly done by closely observing the patient in the clinic as well as using the rating scale. However, this kind of diagnosis is subjective in nature and usually takes long time and assessment of this disease is complicated and cannot replicated in other patients. This kind of diagnosis method is also not suitable for the early detection of the PD. So, with this shortcoming it is necessary to find a suitable method that can automate the process as well as useful in the initial phase of diagnosis of PD. Recently with the invention of motion capture equipment’s and artificial intelligent technique, the feasibility of the objective nature-based diagnosis is getting lot of attention, especially the objective quantification of gait parameters. Shuffling of gait is one of the important characteristics of PD patients and it is usually defined y shorter stride length and low foot clearance. In this study a novel method is proposed to quantify the gait parameters using 3D motion captures and then various feature selection algorithm have used to select the effective features and finally machine learning based techniques were implemented to automate the classification process of two groups composed of PD patients as well as older adults. We have found maximum accuracy of 98.54 %by using support vector machine (SVM) classifier with radial basis function coupled with minimum redundancy and maximum relevance (MRMR) algorithm-based feature set. Our result showed that the proposed method can help the clinicians to distinguish PD patients from the older adults. This method helps to detect the PD at early stage.
