Summary

In this study, an accurate tool is provided for the evaluation of the effect of joint motion effect on gait stability. This quantitative gait evaluation method relies exclusively on the analysis of data acquired using acceleration sensors. First, the acceleration signal of lower limb motion is collected dynamically in real-time through the acceleration sensor. Second, an algorithm based on improved dynamic time warping (DTW) is proposed and used to calculate the gait stability index of the lower limbs. Finally, the effects of different joint braces on gait stability are analyzed. The experimental results show that the joint brace at the ankle and the knee reduces the range of motions of both ankle and knee joints, and a certain impact is exerted on the gait stability.
