Focused on the existing diagnosis methods of Parkinson's Disease (PD), the auxiliary diagnosis methods of PD based on gait analysis was reviewed. In clinical practice, the common diagnosis method of gait assessment for PD is based on scales, which is simple and convenient, but is highly subjective and requires well-experienced clinical doctors. With the development of computer technology, more methods of gait analysis are provided. Firstly, PD and its abnormal manifestations in gait were summarized. Then, the common methods of auxiliary diagnosis for PD based on gait analysis were reviewed. These methods were able to be roughly divided into two types: methods based on wearable or non-wearable devices. Wearable devices are small and have high accuracy for diagnosis, and with the use of them, the gait status of patients can be monitored for a long time. With the use of non-wearable devices, human gait data is captured through video sensors such as Microsoft Kinect, without wearing related devices and restricting patients' movements. Finally, the deficiencies in the existing gait analysis methods were pointed out, and the possible development trends in the future were discussed.
