چکیده انگلیسی

This paper represents the first step in developing an inertial sensor system that is capable of assessing post-stroke gait in terms of walking speed and temporal gait symmetry. Two inertial sensors were attached at the midpoint of each shank to measure the accelerations and angular velocity during walking. Despite the abnormalities in hemiparetic gait, the angular velocity of most of the testing subjects (12 out of 13) exhibited similar characteristics as those from a healthy population, enabling walking speed estimation and gait event detection based on the pendulum walking model. The results from a standardized 10-meter walk test demonstrated that the IMU-based method has an excellent agreement with the clinically used stopwatch method. The gait symmetry results were comparable with previous studies. The gait segmentation failed when the angular velocity deviates significantly from the healthy groups' profile. With further development and concurrent validations, the inertial sensor-based system may eventually become a useful tool for continually monitoring spatio-temporal gait parameters post stroke in a natural environment.

► We developed an inertial sensor-based method in assessing spatio-temporal parameters for post-stroke gait. ► Angular velocities measured with shank-mounted inertial sensor exhibited similar characteristics between the hemiparetic and healthy population. ► Our data indicated that the inertial sensor based method produced speed estimates that would be used to determine functionally meaningful changes in gait. ► With a stand-alone implementation, the proposed method will provide a viable solution to assessing spatio-temporal gait post-stroke in a natural environment.
