Table 1 IMU signal markers and search windows for detection of swing start and end time positions in forelimb and hindlimb strides.
From: Four-limb wireless IMU sensor system for automatic gait detection in canines
| Â | Signal markers | Search window |
|---|---|---|
Forelimb | ||
Swing Start | M1: negative Rz’ peak with the highest prominence with positive Ax M2: midpoint between max(Ax) and Ax = 0 | [TN – HWN, TN] |
Swing End | M1: Ax’ peak with the highest prominence excluding the first Ax’ peak M2: max(Rz’) outside Rz peak boundary | [TN + HWN, TN+1 – 1.5 × HWN+1] |
Hindlimb | ||
Swing Start | M1: Ax first crosses zero from negative to positive before the last negative Rz’ peak M2: Ay’ starts to decrease significantly (> 50 g/s) | [TN-1 + 2 × HWN-1, TN-HWN] |
Swing End | M1: Ay reaches -g or a negative peak after peak Ay outside TN + HWN M2: negative Rz peak after TN + HWN | [TN, TN + 2 × HWN] |
