Abstract
BACKGROUND: Wearable sensors combined with deep-learning models are increasingly being used to predict biomechanical variables. Researchers have focused on either simple neural networks or complex pretrained models with multiple layers. In addition, studies have rarely integrated knee alignment information or the side affected by injury as features to improve model predictions. In this study, we compared the performance of selected model architectures, including complex pretrained models, in predicting three-dimensional (3D) ground reaction force (GRF) data during level walking by using data obtained from motion capture systems and wearable accelerometers.
