A wearable gait lab powered by sensor-driven digital twins for quantitative biomechanical analysis post-stroke.

ABSTRACT: Commonly, quantitative gait analysis post-stroke is performed in fully equipped laboratories housing costly technologies for quantitative evaluation of a patient's movement capacity. Combining such technologies with an electromyography (EMG)-driven musculoskeletal model can estimate muscle force properties non-invasively, offering clinicians insights into motor impairment mechanisms. However, lab-constrained areas and time-demanding sensor setup and data processing limit the practicality of these technologies in routine clinical care. We presented wearable technology featuring a multi-channel EMG-sensorized garment and an automated muscle localization technique. This allows unsupervised computation of muscle-specific activations, combined with five inertial measurement units (IMUs) for ass
