This study introduces the GaitShoe, a wireless wearable system for unobtrusive, long-term quantitative gait analysis outside the lab. The system accurately detects key gait events and foot orientation for comprehensive biomechanical assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Wearable Technology
  • Human Movement Analysis

Background:

  • Traditional gait analysis is confined to specialized motion laboratories.
  • Quantitative gait data collection is often obtrusive and limited in duration.
  • Need for accessible, long-term gait monitoring solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a wireless wearable system for quantitative gait analysis outside laboratory settings.
  • To enable unobtrusive, long-term data collection in any environment.
  • To assess the system's capability in detecting gait events and estimating foot parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the "GaitShoe" system integrating accelerometers, gyroscopes, force, bend, pressure, and electric field height sensors.
