ABSTRACT

Based on World Health Organization (WHO) report [1], over 1 billion people worldwide suffer from neuro-disorder diseases (NDDs), ranging from epilepsy to Parkinson’s disease. Every year over 7 million people die as a result of NDDs [1]. In the United States alone, NDDs cost over $148 billion per year, and the annual cost of care for each NDD patient is over $64,000 per year [2]. Before determining the medication or surgery treatments for many different types of NDDs (> 50 [3]), a neurology doctor needs to analyze the patient’s concrete NDD symptoms, which include abnormal gaits (in daytime walking) or motor disorders (mostly occurring in nighttime [4–6]).
