DETECTION DEVICE, DETECTION SYSTEM, DETECTION METHOD, AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18033471 titled 'DETECTION DEVICE, DETECTION SYSTEM, DETECTION METHOD, AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
Abstract: A detection device has been developed that can analyze the motion of a foot and detect specific events related to walking. This device includes a waveform generation unit that creates a gait waveform using sensor data, and a detection unit that identifies gait events based on specific conditions set for angle, angular velocity, and acceleration in a sagittal plane.
- The device generates a gait waveform by analyzing sensor data related to foot motion.
- It detects gait events based on predetermined conditions for angle, angular velocity, and acceleration in a sagittal plane.
- The gait events can include various stages of walking, such as heel strike, toe-off, or mid-stance.
- The device can be used to monitor and analyze gait patterns in individuals, providing valuable insights for medical and rehabilitation purposes.
- It can be integrated into wearable devices or footwear to provide real-time feedback on gait quality and identify potential issues.
- The technology can be utilized in sports training to analyze and improve running or walking techniques.
- It can also be applied in the development of assistive devices for individuals with mobility impairments.
Potential Applications:
- Medical and rehabilitation purposes
- Wearable devices and footwear
- Sports training and technique analysis
- Assistive devices for individuals with mobility impairments
Problems Solved:
- Difficulty in accurately analyzing and detecting specific gait events related to walking.
- Lack of real-time feedback on gait quality and potential issues.
- Limited options for monitoring and analyzing gait patterns in individuals.
Benefits:
- Provides a reliable and efficient method for analyzing foot motion and detecting gait events.
- Enables real-time feedback on gait quality, allowing for immediate adjustments and improvements.
- Offers a non-invasive and convenient solution for monitoring and analyzing gait patterns.
- Can aid in medical diagnosis, rehabilitation, and sports training.
Original Abstract Submitted
A detection device includes a waveform generation unit that generates a gait waveform using sensor data related to a motion of a foot, and a detection unit that detects a gait event from the gait waveform based on a condition set for each of an angle, an angular velocity, and an acceleration in a sagittal plane.
