| Abstract | The ability to monitor the gait of Parkinson Disease patients and provide correct biofeedback can help prevent falls, detect freezing; and from social perspective lead to better quality of life. In this work, a wearable wireless gait monitoring/assessment system is developed to assist the PD patients rehabilitation by providing biofeedback, such as voice alerts and guidance. The devices will continuously collect the information during walking; if the device detects any abnormal gait movement or difficulties in walking, voice feedback will be given through earphones. Low cost, wearable, and wireless integrated sensors are used. The integrated sensors incorporate tri-axial accelerometer, gyroscope and compass. The prototype system includes two integrated sensors located at each ankle position to track gait movements. A body sensor is positioned near the cervical vertebra to monitor the body posture. The system is also able to measure parameters which might be difficult to measure manually, such as maximum acceleration of the patients during standing up, and the time it takes from sit to stand. Experimental trial runs on PD patients demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed system. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
