Abstract

BACKGROUND: Quantitative gait analysis produces a vast amount of data, which can be difficult to analyze. Automated gait classification based on machine learning techniques bear the potential to support clinicians in comprehending these complex data. Even though these techniques are already frequently used in the scientific community, there is no clear consensus on how the data need to be preprocessed and arranged to assure optimal classification accuracy outcomes.
