This study presents a clinical decision support system for detecting and further analyzing neuromusculoskeletal disorders using both clinical and gait data. The system is composed of a database storing disease characteristics, symptoms and gait data of the subjects, a combined pattern classifier that processes the data and user friendly interfaces. Data is mainly obtained through Computerized Gait Analysis, which can be defined as numerical representation of the mechanical measurements of human walking patterns. The decision support system uses mainly a combined classifier to incorporate the different types of data for better accuracy. A decision tree is developed with Multilayer Perceptrons at the leaves. The system is planned to be used for various neuromusculoskeletal disorders such as Cerebral Palsy (CP), stroke, and Osteoarthritis (OA). First experiments are performed with OA. Subjects are classified into four OA-severity categories, formed in accordance with the Kellgren-Lawrence scale: "Normal", "Mild", "Moderate", and "Severe". A classification accuracy of 80% is achieved on the test set. To complete the system, a patient follow-up mechanism is also designed.

An Emprical examination for collaborative nature of business process modeling Fındık Coşkunçay, Duygu; Çakır, Murat Perit; Department of Information Systems (2016) In this study, factors that contribute to interaction quality of collaborative group members in a computer-supported collaborative business process modeling context were investigated with qualitative and quantitative methods. Initially, interaction quality factors were identified based on a review of related theoretical frameworks and qualitative analysis of log files from a dual eye-tracking experiment. A rating scheme was then developed to assess the quality of group interactions. A research model, that r...
A new outlier detection method based on convex optimization: application to diagnosis of Parkinson's disease TAYLAN, PAKİZE; Yerlikaya-Ozkurt, Fatma; Bilgic Ucak, Burcu; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Informa UK Limited, 2020-12-01) Neuroscience is a combination of different scientific disciplines which investigate the nervous system for understanding of the biological basis. Recently, applications to the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease have become very promising by considering different statistical regression models. However, well-known statistical regression models may give misleading results for the diagnosis of the neurodegenerative diseases when experimental data contain outlier observations that l...
A Hybrid geo-activity recommendation system using advanced feature combination and semantic activity similarity Sattari, Masoud; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2013) In this study, a new method for analyzing and representing the discriminative information, distributed in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data, is proposed. For this purpose, a local mesh with varying size is formed around each voxel, called the seed voxel. The relationships among each seed voxel and its neighbors are estimated using a linear regression equation by minimizing the expectation of the squared error. This squared error coming from linear regression is used to calculate various info...
A multi-layered graphical model of the relation among SNPS, GENES, and pathways based on subgraph search Ersoy, Gökhan; Aydın Son, Yeşim; Can, Tolga; Department of Bioinformatics (2015) The analysis of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) through Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) presents great potential for describing disease loci and gaining insight into the underlying etiology of diseases. Recently described combined p-value approach allows identification of associations at gene and pathway level. The integrated programs like METU-SNP produce simple lists of either SNP id/gene id/pathway title and their p-values and significance status or SNP id/disease id/pathway information. In...
