A Review of Gait Analysis Using Gyroscopes and Inertial Measurement Units.

ABSTRACT: Wearable sensors are used in gait analysis to obtain spatiotemporal parameters, with gait events serving as critical markers for foot and lower limb movement. Summarizing detection methods is essential, as accurately identifying gait events and phases are key to deriving precise spatiotemporal parameters through wearable technology. However, a clear understanding of how these sensors, particularly angular velocity and acceleration signals within inertial measurement units, individually or collectively, contribute to the detection of gait events and gait phases is lacking. This review aims to summarize the current state of knowledge on the application for both gyroscopes, with particular emphasis on the role of angular velocity signals, and inertial measurement units with both angular veloc
