Gait Pre-recognition of Dynamic Lower Limb Prosthesis Based on Hidden Markov Model

Effective pre-recognition of human gait is one of the key points to make the dynamic prosthetic knee joint coordinate with the body movement. Acceleration sensor installed in the prosthetic socket and pressure sensor installed in the plantar are used to acquire body's motion information. According to regularity and repeatability characteristics, hidden Markov model is adopted to analyze the acquired motion information and performing gait pre-recognition. The experiments show that the gait pre-recognition of dynamic lower prosthesis based on hidden Markov model is effective and accurate.
