Background:

Real-time gait event detection (GED) is crucial for gait analysis and fitness tracking.
Current GED systems face challenges in diverse and uncontrolled terrains.
Accurate detection of gait events across varied surfaces remains an open research problem.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a real-time, inertial sensor-based gait event detection system.
To enable robust GED across diverse terrains, including flat ground and stairs.
To create a computationally efficient system for portable applications.

Main Methods:

Utilized an inertial sensor-based approach for data acquisition.
Developed algorithms for real-time classification of three terrain types: flat-walk, stair-ascend, and stair-descend.
Implemented and validated the system on a low-cost microcontroller.

Main Results:

Achieved an average terrain classification accuracy of 99%.
Successfully detected key gait events: toe-strike, heel-rise, toe-off, and heel-strike.
Demonstrated real-time performance and computational efficiency.

Conclusions:

The proposed inertial sensor-based GED system is highly accurate for diverse terrains.
The system's efficiency and real-time capability make it suitable for portable rehabilitation devices.
This technology offers potential for enhanced gait monitoring in dynamic environments.
