Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Wearable Sensor Technology

Background:

  • Gait stability is crucial for mobility and preventing falls.
  • Evaluating the impact of assistive devices like joint braces on gait is essential for rehabilitation.
  • Existing methods for gait analysis can be complex and may not capture dynamic joint motion effects accurately.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a quantitative tool for evaluating the effect of joint motion on gait stability.
  • To assess the impact of ankle and knee joint braces on gait stability using acceleration sensor data.
  • To compare the influence of ankle versus knee braces on gait stability.

Main Methods:

  • Collected real-time lower limb motion acceleration data using sensors.
  • Developed an improved dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm to calculate a gait stability index.
  • Analyzed gait stability under the influence of ankle and knee joint braces.

Main Results:

  • Joint braces at the ankle and knee reduced the range of motion in the respective joints, impacting gait stability.
  • Knee joint braces caused a greater disturbance to gait stability compared to ankle joint braces.
  • Joint motion on the braced side deviated significantly from normal walking, while the unbraced side showed more similarity.

Conclusions:

  • The DTW-based quantitative evaluation algorithm provides an intuitive method for assessing gait stability.
  • This approach has potential applications in evaluating lower limb dysfunction, clinical training, and rehabilitation.
  • Understanding brace effects on gait is vital for optimizing assistive device use in patient recovery.
