    Area of Science:

    • Robotics
    • Biomechanics
    • Machine Learning

    Background:

    • Accurate gait phase estimation is crucial for effective exoskeleton control.
    • Different gait cycle stages necessitate distinct control strategies.
    • Exoskeleton assistance aims to improve mobility and support rehabilitation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate seven machine learning models for gait segmentation in exoskeleton users.
    • To identify the most accurate model for distinguishing gait phases using sensor data.
    • To assess model performance under both normal and simulated impaired walking conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized inertial measurement unit (IMU) and joint angle data from eight subjects wearing an Ekso Indego exoskeleton.
    • Employed a six-state gait model with transitions defined by heel strike, toe off, and tibia vertical.

  • Validated state transitions using optical motion capture and ground reaction force data.

    • Main Results:

    • The Support Vector Machine (SVM) model achieved the highest performance among the evaluated algorithms.
    • SVM demonstrated an average accuracy of 94.5% for normal walking.
    • SVM achieved an average accuracy of 94.1% for simulated impaired walking.

    Conclusions:

    • The Support Vector Machine model shows significant promise for accurate gait segmentation in exoskeleton applications.
    • Further research is needed to evaluate the real-time performance of the SVM model with actual exoskeleton users.
    • Real-time performance assessment is a critical next step before implementing this model for exoskeleton control.
