Abstract
In this chapter we have presented how multifractal detrended cross-correlation analysis technique can be used to study Parkinson’s disease from human gait pattern of those patients when compared to those of normal people. The chapter further emphasizes that this study is important as a new novel technique whereby data from the correlation between the two feet provides status of the degree of neurodegenerative disorder. The chapter also presents how multifractal methodologies can also be applied in Huntington’s disease.
