Abstract
Through the quantification of gait ability, it becomes possible to assess the present level of gait proficiency and design a personalized rehabilitation program. In order to assess a patient’s gait, both the trend and scale aspects of gait time-series data must be considered. This study introduces a methodology for evaluating gait in 3 patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) by employing the Pearson correlation coefficient for trend similarity and symmetric mean absolute percentage error (SMAPE) for scale similarity in view of kinematics and kinetics as a preliminary study.
