Autism children gait classification using intelligent techniques / Suryani Ilias

Recently, gait patterns of autistic children are of interest in the gait community in order to identify significant gait parameter namely the three-dimensional (3D) gait features. The development of gait patterns via assessing gait deviations in autistic children can help clinicians and researchers...

The development of gait patterns via assessing gait deviations in autistic children can help clinicians and researchers to differentiate gait pattern abnormality in diagnosing, clinical decision-making and planning.

Gait features of 32 normal and 12 autistic children were recorded and analyzed using VICON motion analysis system and force platform during normal walking.

The performance of NN and SVM in classifying the gait patterns between autistics and normal children as classifier are evaluated. The ability of SVM as classifier are investigated using three different kernel functions specifically linear, polynomial, and radial basis.

Results showed that LDA as feature extraction has the highest accuracy with kinematic parameters as gait features along with polynomial function as kernel for the SVM classifier with 100% accuracy.
