| Description | Walking is one of the most basic human activities. Various diseases may be caused by abnormal walking, and abnormal walking is mostly caused by disease. There are various characteristics of abnormal walking, but in general, it can be judged as asymmetric walking. Generally, spatiotemporal parameters can be used to determine asymmetric walking. The spatiotemporal parameter has the disadvantage that it does not consider the influence of the diversity of patterns and the walking speed. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method to analyze asymmetric walking using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) distance, a time series analysis method. The DTW distance was obtained by combining gyroscope data and pressure data. The experiment was carried out by performing symmetrical walking and asymmetrical walking, and asymmetric walking was performed as a simulation of hemiplegic walking by fixing one ankle using an auxiliary device. The proposed method was compared with the existing asymmetric gait analysis method. As a result of the experiment, a p-value lower than 0.05 was obtained, which proved that there was a statistically significant difference. |
