Understanding the behavior of the human postural system has become a very attractive topic for many researchers. This system plays a crucial role in maintaining balance during both stationary and moving states. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent degenerative movement disorder that significantly impacts human stability, leading to falls and injuries. This research introduces an innovative approach that utilizes a hidden Markov model (HMM) to distinguish healthy individuals and those with PD. Interestingly, this methodology employs raw data obtained from stabilometric signals without any preprocessing. The dataset used for this study comprises 60 subjects divided into healthy and PD patients. Impressively, the proposed method achieves an accuracy rate of up to 98% in effectively differentiating healthy subjects from those with PD.
