Please, guide me on how to read a binary file in MATLAB gait in neurodegenerative disease in physionet site.
Those who used ECG MIT BIH data can help me but I do not know how to use the help on the site https://archive.physionet.org/physiotools/matlab/rddata.m ?
Thank you very much.

It is completely straightforward. just read the guide and replace your downloaded data path with the path in the m.file.
Below you can see that the path for the data set is on the line 26.
% This programm reads ECG data which are saved in format 212.
% (e.g., 100.dat from MIT-BIH-DB, cu01.dat from CU-DB,...)
% The data are displayed in a figure together with the annotations.
% The annotations are saved in the vector ANNOT, the corresponding
% times (in seconds) are saved in the vector ATRTIME.
% The annotations are saved as numbers, the meaning of the numbers can
% be found in the codetable "ecgcodes.h" available at www.physionet.org.
%
% ANNOT only contains the most important information, which is displayed
% with the program rdann (available on www.physionet.org) in the 3rd row.
% The 4th to 6th row are not saved in ANNOT.

M1H => first half of M
M2H => second half of M
PRR => Right part of PR
PRL => left part of PR
zerovalue => integer value of ECG zero point
zerovalue would not have been assigned to if nosig (number of signals) is 0 or negative.

hello dear ...
Do you have more details about MATLAB code commands so that I can understand what you did? thanks
