This study was performed to check if recommendations based on three-dimensional gait analysis (3DGA) are associated with better postoperative outcomes in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). Thirty-eight patients who underwent orthopedic surgery and assessment at the Gait Analysis Laboratory were evaluated retrospectively. The patients were divided in four groups according to the agreement betwee...

From a technological perspective, biometric gait recognition can be categorized into three approaches: Machine Vision based, Floor Sensor based and Wearable Sensor based. This survey covers historical development and current state of the art in accelerometer-based gait analysis, a sub-category of wearable sensor based gait recognition. It gives an all-around literature study describing the majo...

This paper describes an accelerometer based gait analysis system for the assessment of fall risk. The assessment is based on 22 different features calculated from the signal. The different features are combined using machine learning algorithms in order to decide whether the subject has an increased fall risk. Results from Naive Bayes, Neural Networks, Locally Weighted Learning, Support Vector ...

We present a 2D gait analysis system which is completely markerless and extracts kinematic information by analyzing video sequences obtained from an RGB video camera. These properties make the proposed approach particularly suitable in medical contexts where visual gait observation is still a recognised procedure or the invasiveness and high costs of marker-based systems can not be afforded. Ma...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Associations between the site of brain injury and poststroke gait impairment are poorly understood. Temporal gait asymmetry after stroke is a salient index of gait dysfunction that has important functional consequences. The current study investigated whether subtraction lesion analysis could distinguish brain regions associated with persisting temporal gait asymmetry in c...

Gait analysis is very significant for early diagnosis of gait diseases and treatment assessment. Gait analysis is used to assess, plan and to treat the individuals with conditions affecting their ability to walk. In recent years, doctors gain more clarity and exact disease assessment by means of machine learning technologies and this has gained much application of gait analysis. The patients su...
