Gait Analysis Using Video for Disabled People in Marginalized Communities

The goal of this project is to remotely analyze the gait of people walking with crutches. To that objective, the use of video analysis based on the open-source software OpenPose is compared with the data collected from a sensor mounted on a human subject. The results show that the average value of a...

Summary:The goal of this project is to remotely analyze the gait of people walking with crutches. To that objective, the use of video analysis based on the open-source software OpenPose is compared with the data collected from a sensor mounted on a human subject. The results show that the average value of acceleration between the video analysis and the sensor differs by 0.05%. All steps are clearly identified and synchronized. As a consequence, it is possible to validate non-contact acceleration data from video analysis with an inexpensive setup described in this paper. The results show a promise that this non-contact method can be used to assess the gait of disabled people with assistive devices in remote locations.
