Clinical gait analysis using video-based pose estimation: Multiple perspectives, clinical populations, and measuring change.

ABSTRACT: Gait dysfunction is common in many clinical populations and often has a profound and deleterious impact on independence and quality of life. Gait analysis is a foundational component of rehabilitation because it is critical to identify and understand the specific deficits that should be targeted prior to the initiation of treatment. Unfortunately, current state-of-the-art approaches to gait analysis (e.g., marker-based motion capture systems, instrumented gait mats) are largely inaccessible due to prohibitive costs of time, money, and effort required to perform the assessments. Here, we demonstrate the ability to perform quantitative gait analyses in multiple clinical populations using only simple videos recorded using low-cost devices (tablets). We report four primary advances: 1) a novel
