This study introduces novel algorithms for classifying walking patterns and estimating walking distance using gait phase analysis. These methods achieve high accuracy in distinguishing level, uphill, and downhill walking, and in calculating travel distance.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Human motion analysis
  • Wearable technology

Background:

  • Accurate gait analysis is crucial for understanding human locomotion and developing assistive technologies.
  • Existing methods for walking pattern classification and distance estimation often lack precision across diverse terrains.
  • Gait phase information provides a detailed understanding of the walking cycle.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate algorithms for classifying walking patterns (level, upstairs, downstairs) using gait phase information.
  • To create and verify an algorithm for estimating walking distance based on gait phase analysis.
  • To assess the accuracy and reliability of the proposed classification and estimation methods.

Main Methods:

  • A gait phase information retrieval algorithm was developed to analyze stance, push-off, swing, and heel-strike phases.

  • A decision tree classifier was constructed using gait phase relationships for walking pattern identification.
  • A walking distance estimation algorithm was developed, incorporating step count and step length estimation.

    • Main Results:

    • The walking pattern classification achieved high accuracies: 98.87% for level walking, 95.45% for walking upstairs, and 95.00% for walking downstairs.
    • The walking distance estimation algorithm demonstrated an accuracy of 96.42% over a tested walking distance.
    • Experimental validation confirmed the effectiveness of both proposed algorithms.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed gait phase-based algorithms offer a robust and accurate solution for walking pattern classification and distance estimation.
    • These algorithms have significant potential for applications in healthcare, sports science, and personal monitoring.
    • The precise analysis of gait phases enables reliable differentiation of walking conditions and precise distance tracking.
