Abstract: Background: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) often manifests with gait impairment, a critical yet overlooked aspect of early disease progression. Our study is aimed at leveraging wearable sensors and machine learning to analyse gait characteristics, providing a cost‐effective and scalable method for early CSVD diagnosis. Methods: We collected baseline and gait data from 115 individuals diagnosed with CSVD and 120 community healthy controls. All participants underwent a quantitative gait assessment utilizing the wearable device Ambulosono. The study applied an affordable digital 6‐min walk test (6MWT) for standardized assessment, employing machine learning to build a prediction model. Results: Traditional binary logistic regression statistical analysis revealed that the most distinguished gait thresholds during a 6‐min walk were walking speed (≤ 70.34 m/min; sensitivity 0.625, specificity 0.791, AUC 0.760) and cadence (≤ 117.45; sensitivity 0.658, specificity 0.748, AUC 0.738). Gait variability was not statistically significantly different. Compared with traditional statistics, the machine learning model greatly improved the ability of gait characteristics to predict CSVD. We used a random forest model to train the selected features, and the AUC of the CSVD prediction mode increased from 0.83 to 0.94 (p = 0.006 DeLong's test), with 82% accuracy, 78% specificity, 86% sensitivity, 79% precision, and an F1‐score of 0.82. Conclusions: Our findings underscore the innovative application of gait features and machine learning in CSVD diagnosis. The integration of the affordable digital 6MWT gait tool with machine learning represents a promising approach for early detection and large‐scale population screening. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
