Gait Event Detection during Stair Walking Using a Rate Gyroscope

Gait Event Detection during Stair Walking Using a Rate Gyroscope

Gyroscopes have been proposed as sensors for ambulatory gait analysis and functional electrical stimulation systems. These applications often require detection of the initial contact (IC) of the foot with the floor and/or final contact or foot off (FO) from the floor during outdoor walking. Previous...
