| Abstract | Gait analysis is a prosperous tool for the clinical evaluation and diagnosis. In this article, a portable gait analysis system based on foot-mounted inertial sensors is established. A threshold-free method using a long short-term memory recurrent neural network is constructed to segment four typical gait phases in a gait sequence for the temporal parameters analysis. Segmentation accuracy reaches over 95% across recruited subjects with distinct gait patterns, which is significantly superior when compared with traditional machine learning methods. The zero-velocity indicator is generated successively according to the segmented sequence to accomplish zero velocity update for the spatial parameter calculation. The accuracy of the proposed system is also validated through the OptiTrack in the lab. The comparison result of the stride length shows that the error between the two systems is less than 2%, which demonstrates that our system can satisfy the demand in the clinical. |
