Detection of Levodopa Induced Dyskinesia in Parkinson's Disease Patients Based on Activity Classification
Abstract
In this paper, we present an activity classification-based algorithm for the automatic detection of Levodopa Induced Dyskinesia in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients. Two PD patients experiencing motor fluctuations related to chronic Levodopa therapy performed a protocol of simple daily life activities on at least two different occasions. A Random Forest classifier was able to classify the performed activities by the patients with an overall accuracy of 86%. Based on the detected activity, a K Nearest Neighbor classifier detected the presence of dyskinesia with accuracy ranging from 75% to 88%
