One Step At a Time: Newly Proposed Gait Event Detection Using Position Benchmarked Against Existing Acceleration­-Based Methods

Gait event detection allows for insight into one’s gait pattern, an invaluable aid in rehabilitation. Current methods often rely on measured acceleration and rarely on position measurements [3]–[6]. In this paper we propose 4 novel gait detection methods based on the position of the Center of Mass (one approach being causal and thus suitable for...
