Analyzing gait data measured by wearable cyborg hybrid assistive limb during assisted walking: gait pattern clustering
These results revealed key differences in gait patterns related to the wearer's condition, demonstrating the importance of monitoring HAL-assisted walking to provide appropriate interventions. Furthermore, our approach highlights the usefulness of the gait data that HAL automatically measures during the intervention. We anticipate that the HAL, designed as a therapeutic device, will expand its role as a data measurement device for analysis and evaluation that provides gait data simultaneously with interventions, creating a novel cybernics treatment system that facilitates a multi-faceted understanding of the wearer's gait.
