Lower-limb sagittal joint angles during gait can be predicted based on foot acceleration and angular velocity.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Continuous monitoring of lower-limb movement may help in the early detection and control/reduction of diseases (such as the progression of orthopedic diseases) by applying suitable interventions. Therefore, it is invaluable to calculate the lower-limb movement (sagittal joint angles) while walking daily for continuous evaluation of such risks. Although cameras in a motion capture system are necessary for calculating lower-limb sagittal joint angles during gait, the method is unrealistic considering the setting is difficult to achieve in daily life. Therefore, the estimation of lower-limb sagittal joint angles during walking based on variables, which can be measured using wearable sensors (e.g., foot acceleration and angular velocity), is important.
