Principal Component Analysis of Vertical Ground Reaction Force: A Powerful Method to Discriminate Normal and Abnormal Gait and Assess Treatment

Abstract: This study aims at testing the application of principal component analysis (PCA) in the ground reaction force (GRF) in discriminating the gait pattern between normal and abnormal subjects, and assessing the rehabilitation treatment. The sample was composed by 31 subjects, organized into two groups: a control group (CG) of 25 normal and a group (FG) of six patients with lower limb fractures, which was considered before (FGB) and after (FGA) a treadmill physiotherapeutic treatment. The vertical component of GRF … Show more

“…A number of multivariate statistical methods have been developed for dealing with the complexity and interdependence of gait data [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. While some of these methods focus primarily on identifying gait patterns and relationships among variables, several aim to develop either joint-specific or overall indexes of gait pathology [7,8,10,[12][13][14]19].…”

“…It has also been used before in gait recognition, in particular in MV based gait recognition, for example in [9]- [14]. In [15] the authors actually apply PCA to a Floor Sensor system, but the goal in that article is to discriminate between normal and abnormal walking and not so much user identif cation or authentication.…”
