Building Effective Machine Learning Models for Ankle Joint Power Estimation During Walking Using FMG Sensors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ankle joint power is usually determined by a complex process that involves heavy equipment and complex biomechanical models. Instead of using heavy equipment, we proposed effective machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models to estimate the ankle joint power using force myography (FMG) sensors. In this study, FMG signals were collected from nine young, healthy participants. The task was to walk on a special treadmill for five different velocities with a respective duration of 1 min. FMG signals were collected from an FMG strap that consists of 8 force resisting sensor (FSR) sensors. The strap was positioned around the lower leg. The ground truth value for ankle joint power was determined with the help of a complex biomechanical model. At first, the predictors' value was preprocessed using a rolling mean filter. Following, three sets of features were formed where the first set includes raw FMG signals, and the other two sets contained time-domain and frequency-domain features extracted using the first set. Cat Boost Regressor (CBR), Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM), and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) were trained and tested using these three features sets. The results presented in this study showed a correlation coefficient of R = 0.91 ± 0.07 for intrasubject testing and were found acceptable when compared to other similar studies. The CNN on raw features and the LSTM on time-domain features outperformed the other variations. Aside from that, a performance gap between the slowest and fastest walking distance was observed. The results from this study showed that it was possible to achieve an acceptable correlation coefficient in the prediction of ankle joint power using FMG sensors with an appropriate combination of feature set and ML model.

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.
