Phase Variable Based Recognition of Human Locomotor Activities Across Diverse Gait Patterns
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Human locomotor activity (LA) recognition is important in the control of exoskeletons and prostheses and in patient monitoring. This article presents a practical recognition approach that can classify level walking, stair ascent, and stair descent activities across different subjects and diverse gait patterns. The thigh angle is measured and utilized in this method to construct a phase curve in an activity-specific coordinate frame during a stride. The LA is recognized by matching the curvature of its phase curve to the expected one. The factors affecting the adaptability of the proposed method to gait variations are analyzed and compensated for. The proposed method is evaluated with eight subjects who are asked to perform the three types of activity at two different cadences: 70 steps/min and 110 steps/min. Experimental results show that the proposed classifier outperforms an existing phase variable based classifier in all validation experiments and a${\boldsymbol{k}}$-nearest neighbor classifier when using nonsubject-specific training data, indicating that the proposed method has superior adaptability to changes in human and in strides. Moreover, the feature used in the proposed method has demonstrated the potential in quantitatively indicating the extent of neuromotor impairments of patients.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
