Özet

Gait disorders are significant indicators of neurological diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease, and reduce the quality of life of patients. Soft body exoskeletons offer a therapeutic solution to address these disorders. Although the detection and classification of gait disorders is essential for treatment and diagnosis, a single standardized gait analysis system for exoskeleton control remains absent. This study presents the design of a real-time gait analysis system using wearable sensors. This system generates real-time feedback data by evaluating kinematic, kinetic and physiological parameters of gait. The digitized data can be used for ML integration and exoskeleton control.
