Analysis and Classification of Gait Characteristics

Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Sensors

Abstract

Gait analysis is the most extensively utilised method for detecting and evaluating biological problems and other gait features. Walking is almost unconscious under normal circumstances, when there are no dysfunctional elements impacting the gait. Continuous monitoring, on the other hand, is required for persons who are ambulating. Wearable gait analysis sensors have shown to be a cost-effective, convenient, and effective method of tracking and analyzing the gait cycle. In this context, a wearable sensor unit that objectively evaluates several gait metrics is presented. This research aims to combine gait analysis with inertial sensors like accelerometers and gyroscopes, as well as additional sensors like foot pressure sensors and flex sensors integrated in shoes. The gait shoe proved to be quite useful since it could also measure foot orientation and position. This gadget has a wide range of uses in sports, medical treatments, and biometrics.

Keywords
