Gait Event Detection during Stair Walking Using a Rate Gyroscope
Gyroscopes have been proposed as sensors for ambulatory gait analysis and functional electrical stimulation systems. These applications often require detection of the initial contact (IC) of the foot with the floor and/or final contact or foot off (FO) from the floor during outdoor walking. Previous investigations have reported the use of a single gyroscope placed on the shank for detection of ...
متن کاملGait Event Detection on Level Ground and Incline Walking Using a Rate Gyroscope
Gyroscopes have been proposed as sensors for ambulatory gait analysis and functional electrical stimulation systems. Accurate determination of the Initial Contact of the foot with the floor (IC) and the final contact or Foot Off (FO) on different terrains is important. This paper describes the evaluation of a gyroscope placed on the shank for determination of IC and FO in subjects walking outdo...
متن کاملDetection of Gait Events Using a Vibratory Gyroscope
The replacement of force sensitive resistors (FSRs) with a single vibratory gyroscope has been examined for use within a drop foot correction system. The sensor is small and lightweight enough to be easily attached to the shoe, and may be used (currently with an IBM compatible PC) to detect four gait events: heel contact, foot flat, heel rise and toe off. The cost of the gyroscopic sensor is co...
متن کاملComparison of gait properties during level walking and stair ascent and descent with varying loads
This study aimed to compare gait properties during level walking and during stair ascent and descent with varying loads. Fifteen healthy young men (mean age: 22.1 ± 1.6 years) walked while holding four different loads relative to each subject’s body mass (0, 20, 40 and 60% of body mass: BM) on their backs. Stance time, swing time, and double support times were selected as gait parameters. All p...
متن کاملGait Analysis with Ankle Arthrodesis Shoes during Level Walking and Stair Climbing
INTRODUCTION Arthrodesis of the ankle is an established operation. The lack of normal ankle movement after ankle arthrodesis reduced the ability of the patients to walk smoothly on the arthrodesis foot. It would have a more profound effect in negotiating stairs, because large ranges of dorsiflexion and plantarflexion are required to accomplish this activity. Although gait characteristics have b...
