This study aims to investigate gait parameters using inertial sensors and evaluate the relation between disease severity and gait parameters. Two-minute walkway tests were performed on eighteen patients with PD. Gait parameters were analyzed and the relation between gait parameters and the scores of MDS-UPDRS Part III and the Hoehn &Yahr (H&Y) scale is investigated. Eighteen PD patients (eight female, ten male) with a mean age of 65.78 ± 8.07 were included in the study. Foot strike angle(r=-0.66), turn angle (r=-0.73), stride length (r=-0.52), and turn velocity (r=-0.54) showed negative, turn duration (r=0.58) showed a positive correlation with the score of MDS-UPDRS part III, (p <0.05). H&Y staging showed a negative correlation with foot strike angle (r=-0.58), toe off angle (r=-0.53), and turn velocity (r=-0.52), a positive correlation with turn duration (r=0.56). Inertial sensors may provide objective gait parameters supporting the clinical assessment of patients with PD.}, number={1}, publisher={Istanbul Kent University}
