Abstract

In this study, we proposed an algorithm which can detect the walking event in hemiplegic patient using three axis acceleration signal. Twenty hemiplegic patients were participated in an experiment on a level corridor. To evaluate the accuracy, we compared the time difference between the detected event and signal from FSR-Sensor. Consequently, the mean difference of 46.1ms was obtained and it suggests that the proposed method is effective to detect the walking event in hemiplegic patient. In future, these results could be used to evaluate the walking ability in hemiplegic patient in clinical practice.
