To allow systematic assessment of FoG, objective quantification of gait parameters and automatic detection of FoG are needed. This will help in personalizing the treatment. In this paper, the objectives of the study are (1) quantification of gait parameters in an objective manner by using the data collected from wearable accelerometers; (2) comparison of five estimated gait parameters from the proposed algorithm with their counterparts obtained from the 3D motion capture system in terms of mean error rate and Pearson\u2019s correlation coefficient (PCC); (3) automatic discrimination of FoG patients from no FoG patients using machine learning techniques. It was found that the five gait parameters have a high level of agreement with PCC ranging from 0.961 to 0.984. The mean error rate between the estimated gait parameters from accelerometer-based approach and 3D motion capture system was found to be less than 10%. The performances of the classifiers are compared on the basis of accuracy. The best result was accomplished with the SVM classifier with an accuracy of approximately 88%. The proposed approach shows enough evidence that makes it applicable in a real-life scenario where the wearable accelerometer-based system would be recommended to assess and monitor the FoG.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18103287","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,2]],"date-time":"2018-10-02T12:23:50Z","timestamp":1538483030000},"page":"3287","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":65,"title":["A Validation Study of Freezing of Gait (FoG) Detection and Machine-Learning-Based FoG Prediction Using Estimated Gait Characteristics with a Wearable Accelerometer"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4034-5882","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Satyabrata","family":"Aich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering\/Institute of Digital Anti-Aging Healthcare, Inje University, Gimhae 50834, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6070-5577","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pyari Mohan","family":"Pradhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, IIT Roorkee, Uttarakhand 247667, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8738-5422","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jinse","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Haeundae Paik Hospital, Inje University, Busan 47392, Korea"}]},{"given":"Nitin","family":"Sethi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, IIT Roorkee, Uttarakhand 247667, India"}]},{"given":"Vemula Sai Sri","family":"Vathsa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, IIT Roorkee, Uttarakhand 247667, India"}]},{"given":"Hee-Cheol","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering\/Institute of Digital Anti-Aging Healthcare, Inje University, Gimhae 50834, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"53","article-title":"The freezing phenomenon in parkinsonism","volume":"67","author":"Fahn","year":"1995","journal-title":"Adv.
