Footprints are left, or obtained, in a variety of scenarios from crime scenes to anthropological investigations. Determining the sex of a footprint can be useful in screening such impressions and attempts have been made to do so using single or multi...
Gait phase detection in IMU-based gait analysis has some limitations due to walking style variations and physical impairments of individuals. Therefore, available algorithms may not work properly when the gait data is noisy, or the person rarely reac...
Gait performance is an important marker of motor and cognitive decline in older adults. An instrumented gait analysis resorting to inertial sensors allows the complete evaluation of spatiotemporal gait parameters, offering an alternative to laborator...
PURPOSE: Previous studies evaluating hindfoot and knee alignment have suggested compensation between the knee and the hindfoot deformities. However, these studies did not investigate the influence of the orientation of the subtalar axis on the result...

The gait kinematics of an individual is affected by various factors, including age, anthropometry, gender, and disease. Detecting anomalous gait features aids in the diagnosis and treatment of gait-related diseases. The objective of this study was to...
Forecasted gait trajectories of children could be used as feedforward input to control lower limb robotic devices, such as exoskeletons and actuated orthotic devices (e.g., Powered Ankle Foot Orthosis-PAFO). Several studies have forecasted healthy ga...
Foot progression angle (FPA) analysis is one of the core methods to detect gait pathologies as basic information to prevent foot injury from excessive in-toeing and out-toeing. Deep learning-based object detection can assist in measuring the FPA thro...
Many algorithms use 3D accelerometer and/or gyroscope data from inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors to detect gait events (i.e., initial and final foot contact). However, these algorithms often require knowledge about sensor orientation and use e...
In this paper, we present a strategy for a legged robot to stably cross cinder blocks with a limited area acquired from a camera. First, we used the point cloud acquired from the camera to detect the planes and calculate their centroids and direction...
