Development of an intelligent real-time heuristic-based algorithm to identify human gait events

Human gait events are crucial in gait analysis. Proper identification of gait events enables derivation of various spatio-temporal parameters and segmentation of the data captured by motion capture systems. Rapid growth of miniature motion sensors, such as gyroscope, has allowed human motion to be captured continuously in real-time and in natural environment. This paper utilizes gyroscopes to monitor human gait and heuristic-based algorithm to...
