Gait disorders are a primary consequence of Parkinson's Disease (PD), resulting in loss of patients' independence. Recently, Rhythmical Auditory Stimulation (RAS) gave a preliminary proof to benefit gait quality, but the specific methodology requires a long walkway, preventing the use of a traditional complete gait analysis. In the present work we describe an unobtrusive, wearable setup and the related...
This paper presents a walking-monitoring-shoe (WMS) system capable of simultaneous performing accurate plantar-force measurement and reliable gait-phase detection for continuous monitoring of human walking on treadmill. Based on anatomical information, the WMS employs four strain-gauges embedded in a homemade sole to accurately measure the contact force of the human foot exerted on the shoe-pad, and...
In this paper, we aim to study and classify gait patterns among flat walking, descending stairs, and ascending stairs using inertial measurement unit (IMU) including triaxial accelerometers and gyroscopes. Six subjects were invited to gather gait data of flat walking, descending stairs, and ascending stairs wearing the shoe-integrated system with free speeds. The design of the classifier for identifying...
