Clinical gait analysis is a useful diagnostic tool but requires specialized equipment and space. Early detection and proper treatment of gait abnormalities are crucial to prevent further complications and improve patient outcomes. METHODOLOGY The methodology combines Microsoft Kinect and Inertial Measurement Units to explore a cost-effective and portable solution for gait analysis. Video classification is used for gait recognition, while IMU sensors calculate spatiotemporal features. Machine learning models are trained on datasets, and abnormal gait is detected by comparing values with those of normal gait, while accounting for age, gender, and height. ARCHITECTURE RESULTS SOCIETAL USE The technology can help in early detection of gait abnormalities in individuals, which can lead to timely intervention and treatment. This can prevent further complications and improve the quality of life of the affected individuals. CONCLUSION By utilising Microsoft Kinect and IMU, we can identify aberrant gait patterns and evaluate how well a patient is responding to treatment.
