Abstract

ESI Highly Cited Paper (Incites)
Objective: Video-based pose estimation is an emerging technology that shows significant promise for improving clinical gait analysis by enabling quantitative movement analysis with little costs of money, time, or effort. The objective of this study is to determine the accuracy of pose estimation-based gait analysis when video recordings are constrained to 3 common clinical or in-home settings (ie, frontal and sagittal views of overground walking and sagittal views of treadmill walking). Methods: Simultaneous video and motion capture recordings were collected from 30 persons after stroke during overground and treadmill walking. Spatiotemporal and kinematic gait parameters were calculated from videos using an open-source human pose estimation algorithm and from motion capture data using traditional gait analysis. Repeated-measures analyses of variance were then used to assess the accuracy of the pose estimation-based gait analysis across the different settings, and the authors examined Pearson and intraclass correlations with ground-truth motion capture data. Results: Sagittal videos of overground and treadmill walking led to more accurate measurements of spatiotemporal gait parameters versus frontal videos of overground walking. Sagittal videos of overground walking resulted in the strongest correlations between video-based and motion capture measurements of lower extremity joint kinematics. Video-based measurements of hip and knee kinematics showed stronger correlations with motion capture versus ankle kinematics for both overground and treadmill walking. Conclusion: Video-based gait analysis using pose estimation provides accurate measurements of step length, step time, and hip and knee kinematics during overground and treadmill walking in persons after stroke. Generally, sagittal videos of overground gait provide the most accurate results.
