| − | == Gait Event Detection in Real-World Environments for Long-Term Applications ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This is a placeholder for an automated service that will provide temporal estimation of gait events from accelerometer signals. The service would take accelerometer data (in the specified format) as input and provide the estimated events as output.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Until this service is implemented, please send your data in the specified format to siddhartha.khandelwal@hh.se and nicholas.wickstrom@hh.se.

| − | Specifications
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Activities''': Walking and running
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Placement of 3-axis Accelerometer''': Anywhere around the ankle in any orientation.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Sensitivity of the Accelerometer''': (+-) 4g or more. Please specify. Please also check if the accelerometer signal has saturated during intense activity such as running.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Sampling Frequency''': Preferred - 128 Hz [A Sampling frequency of 50Hz and above is acceptable. Please specify.]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Input data''': AccX, AccY, AccZ [Accelerometer signals from the X, Y and Z axes, respectively.]
| + | |
| − | | + | |

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''''NOTE: The data should consist of ONLY walking and running segments of the signal. Segments corresponding to inactivity or any other activity should be removed from the signals prior to data submission.'''''

| − | == MAREA ('''M'''ovement '''A'''nalysis in '''R'''eal-world '''E'''nvironments using '''A'''ccelerometers) Gait Database ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The '''MAREA''' gait database comprises of gait activities in different real-world environments as shown in the table below. 20 healthy adults (12 males and 8 females, average age: 33.4 +- 7 years, average weight: 73.2 +- 10.9 kg, average height: 172.6 +- 9.5 cm) participated in the study that was approved by the Ethical Review Board of Lund, Sweden. Each subject had a 3-axes Shimmer3 (Shimmer Research, Dublin, Ireland) accelerometer (+- 8g) attached to their waist, left wrist and left and right ankles using elastic bands and velcro straps. Figure 1 shows the position and orientation of each accelerometer at the beginning of each experiment. The X and Y axes of the accelerometer positioned on the waist and the Y and Z axes of the accelerometers positioned on the left wrist and left ankle were aligned with the sagittal and transverse planes, respectively. The accelerometer on the right ankle was casually attached without any predefined alignment to simulate a daily life scenario. The subjects were provided shoes that were instrumented with piezo-electric force sensitive resistors (FSRs), fixed at the extreme ends of the sole in order to provide the ground truth values for HS and TO. The data from accelerometer and FSRs was sampled at a frequency of 128Hz, and the FSR output was stored locally on the Shimmer3 microSD card using an external expansion board.
| + | |
| − | The accelerometer signals obtained from different body locations were synchronized manually. Timings of the switch from walking to running were noted down during the experiments, in order to segregate the dataset into walking and running segments.

The accelerometer at the right ankle is attached arbitrarily without any pre-defined orientation. The FSRs are instrumented into the shoe soles to collect the ground truth. The data from all sensors is sampled at a frequency of 128 Hz."]]
