Abstract

Studying the impact of age is important to understand the phenomenon of aging and the disorders that are associated with it. In this work, we analyze age-related alterations on the capacities to navigate on a bike. For this purpose, we use CycléoONE, a bike simulator, and entropy measures. We thus record navigation data (handlebar angle and speed) during the ride. They are processed with two cross-distribution entropy methods (time-shift multiscale cross-distribution entropy and multiscale cross-distribution entropy). We also analyze the time series with a detrended cross-correlation analysis to determine which method can best underline age-related alterations. Our results show that methods based on cross-distribution entropy may be efficient to stress the decrease in navigation capacities with age. The results are very encouraging for our future goal of adding medical benefits to a leisure equipment. They also show the value of using virtual reality to study the impact of age.

This study deals with the use of the signal processing methods (multiscale cross-entropy and multiscale cross-correlation) applied on naviagtion data, acquired with a bike simulator, to study the impact of age on two populations (young healthy subjects and older adults with loss of autonomy).
