Gait phase recognition method adaptable to variable stride frequency walking

Abstract

The invention relates to a gait phase recognition method adaptable to variable stride frequency walking. The method comprises the following steps: placing an inertial measurement unit on a foot to collect human body motion data; designing a foot extreme value detection algorithm capable of carrying out structural parameter self-adjustment according to stride frequency and amplitude characteristics, and realizing stable extraction of extreme point characteristics of foot motion data; a foot zero-speed detection algorithm fused with a self-adaptive oscillator is designed, and accurate extraction of foot zero-speed state features is achieved; and classifying and analyzing the extracted foot characteristic values by utilizing a finite state machine, thereby realizing accurate identification of four phases, namely a foot ground-touching phase, a standing phase, a standing end phase and a pre-swinging phase in a walking mode with variable stride frequency. The foot gait phase recognition process is no longer limited to a laboratory environment and a walking mode with a fixed stride frequency, the gait phase recognition accuracy in a complex environment and a motion mode is effectively improved, and application and development of gait analysis in the field of medical rehabilitation and rehabilitation robots are facilitated.
