摘要

Gait analysis has become a systematic assessment process for diagnosing and monitoring neuro-musculoskeletal abnormalities. This process relies on extracting comprehensive spatial-temporal and frequency-domain features from multi-modal gait data. It is observed that traditional feature extraction methods (statistical, machine learning, and convolutional neural networks) have limitations in learning complex features with long-range dependencies directly from gait signals. To overcome these limitations, we employ multi-domain feature extraction techniques, including the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), the continuous wavelet transform (CWT), fast Walsh–Hadamard transform (FWHT), and power spectral density (PSD). This multi-domain feature preserves the spatial-temporal properties of the gait signal. A hybrid neural architecture with temporal convolutional networks (TCN) and Siamese networks is proposed for the classification of gait abnormality on the standard inertia measurement unit (IMU) dataset. The TCN model captures long-term dependencies in the gait signal. The proposed hybrid model achieves a 97.74% accuracy, outperforming the state-of-the-art algorithms.
