Abstract
Two gait phase detection systems (GPDS) are evaluated to obtain the most accurate and reliable approach. First system incorporates only kinematic gait parameters (hip, knee and ankle angles), while the second system incorporates both kinetic (foot pressure) and kinematic (knee angle) parameters. The results report the reliability of GPDS based on kinetic and kinematic parameters as 100% in contrast to the reliability of the GPDS based on only kinematic parameters as 67.4%. Furthermore, during stance phase, the foot pressure patterns provided a clear differentiation of the gait phases in comparison to joint angles.
