• Analyzing Walking with Ankle Foot Orthoses Using Shank-mounted Wearable Movement Sensors

  Cliona Blackwell · 2023 · ASSETS 2023: The 25th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This extended abstract investigates using Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) mounted on the shank (lower leg) to provide quantitative gait analysis for clinicians tuning Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs). AFOs are orthotic devices that encompass the ankle joint and foot to improve gait…

• WeAllWalk: An Annotated Dataset of Inertial Sensor Time Series from Blind Walkers

  Germán H. Flores, Roberto Manduchi · 2018 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing (TACCESS)

  This paper introduces WeAllWalk, an annotated dataset of inertial sensor time series collected from blind and sighted walkers navigating complex indoor routes. Ten blind volunteers (seven using a long cane, one using a guide dog, and two alternating between both) and five…

• MANA: Designing and Validating a User-Centered Mobility Analysis System

  Boyd Anderson, Shenggao Zhu, Ke Yang, Jian Wang, Hugh Anderson, Chao Xu Tay, Vincent Y. F. Tan, Ye Wang · 2018 · Proceedings of the 20th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2018)

  This paper presents MANA (Mobility ANAlytics), a wearable sensor system designed to measure gait parameters in people with Parkinson's Disease (PD) in clinical and home settings. The system addresses a significant gap in accessible health monitoring: existing gait analysis…

• A Computer Vision-Based System for Stride Length Estimation using a Mobile Phone Camera

  Wei Zhu, Boyd Anderson, Shenggao Zhu, Ye Wang · 2016 · ASSETS '16: Proceedings of the 18th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This paper presents an affordable computer vision system for measuring stride length in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients using only a smartphone camera and a printed PVC mat. Gait analysis is a critical non-invasive method for PD diagnosis and assessment, but clinical systems…
