The paper reports the winning solution to the MoCha 2026 Parkinsonian Gait Benchmark, achieving a macro‑F1 score of 0.6945 on unseen clinical sites. The approach relies on a frozen public motion encoder followed by a single 4×512 linear layer, and gains are largely attributed to three key steps: exact replication of the benchmark’s head recipe, averaging per‑walk posteriors at the subject level, and a label‑free transductive calibration of feature means and decision thresholds. Extensive ablation studies show that fine‑tuning the encoder or using alternative encoders does not improve performance, and the subject‑level aggregation is identified as the primary contributor to the top score.
arXiv:2606. 27918v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As a prominent symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), turning impairment is evaluated through parameters such as turning angle, duration, and particularly, the number of steps required to complete a turn, which directly reflects motor dysfunction.
arXiv:2408. 08182v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: People with Parkinson's Disease (PD) often experience progressively worsening gait, including changes in how they turn around, as the disease progresses.
arXiv:2609.22956v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Parkinson's disease alters gait and bilateral coordination, but machine-learning performance also depends on how continuous gait signals are represente...
The paper introduces a cross‑modal distillation framework that combines the accuracy of inertial measurement unit (IMU) data with the practicality of video‑based gait analysis to detect freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson’s patients. By extracting invariant latent topologies from a pre‑trained kinematic oracle, the method supervises a visual architecture and fuses skeletal graph nodes with continuous spatial pixels to handle severe spatial occlusion during continuous 360° turns. Experiments on a public multimodal dataset show that this approach reduces tracking entropy and achieves precise FOG predictions without requiring wearable sensors.
