Real-Time Walking Gait Estimation for Construction Workers using a Single Wearable Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)

Real-time gait detection and pose estimation are critical for safety monitoring and prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders for construction workers. We present a single wearable inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based gait detection and pose estimation for human walking on flat and sloped surfaces. The gait detection algorithm is built on a recurrent neural network-based method and its...
