Detecting Freezing of Gait Using Wearable Sensors and Machine Learning: Exploring Ternary Freezing of Gait Classification
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-20)This work focuses on Parkinson's disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the production of Lewy bodies in the brain, resulting in the degeneration of dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons. A common and ... -
A Model Based Approach to Apraxia in Parkinson's Disease
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-19)This thesis provides new insight into how learned skilled movements are affected in a disease with basal ganglia damage, within what task demands these deficits can be detected, and how this detection can occur within the ... -
Visual Functions in Parkinson’s Disease
(University of Waterloo, 2018-06-19)Background: Freezing of gait (FOG) is considered to be a motor disorder symptom that affects some Parkinson Disease (PD) patients; however, it is hypothesized that sensory systems may also be involved in FOG. Purpose: ... -
Wireless Sensors and their Applications in Controlling Vibrations
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-18)As wireless devices are becoming more powerful, more flexible and less costly to produce, they are often being applied in new ways. Combining wireless technology with new types of sensors results in the ability to monitor ...
