Area of Science:

Biomechanics
Biomedical Engineering
Signal Processing

Background:

Gait analysis traditionally discretizes walking cycles.
Continuous gait analysis offers richer insights for applications like disease detection and robotics.
Surface electromyography (sEMG) provides a non-invasive measure of muscle activity during movement.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a continuous human gait decoding method using sEMG.
To simultaneously estimate knee and ankle joint angles during walking at various speeds.
To compare the performance of different estimation algorithms for gait analysis.

Main Methods:

Utilized surface electromyography (sEMG) signals.
Extracted four time-domain features from sEMG data.
Implemented and compared six different estimation methods.
Validated the method by estimating joint angles during walking.

Main Results:

Achieved a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 6.64° for knee joint angle estimation.
Achieved a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 3.89° for ankle joint angle estimation.
Demonstrated accurate continuous estimation of joint angles across different walking speeds.

Conclusions:

The proposed sEMG-based method enables continuous gait decoding.
The approach accurately estimates knee and ankle joint angles during walking.
This technique holds significant potential for gait tracking and related applications.
