Applying Deep Learning to Gait Analysis via Monocular Video: Predicting Gait Metrics from Labeled Images
FY 2019-20 · 2019-11-04
Summary
Curv Labs aims to dramatically increase the affordability and accessibility of specific musculoskeletal diagnostics by enabling any camera (e.g., from a mobile device) to conduct motion capture assessments. The core technology is a machine learning model that accurately pin-points anatomical locations. This project is focused specifically on running movements (i.e. gait), and has two objectives: (1) developing the specialized machine learning model for gait analysis, including pronation, and (2) testing the model’s accuracy against ground-truth gait analysis metrics collected from trained experts using manual video analysis. The results of this project will affect how health professionals assess gait in the future.

Description
Curv Labs aims to dramatically increase the affordability and accessibility of specific musculoskeletal diagnostics by enabling any camera (e.g., from a mobile device) to conduct motion capture assessments. The core technology is a machine learning model that accurately pin-points anatomical locations. This project is focused specifically on running movements (i.e. gait), and has two objectives: (1) developing the specialized machine learning model for gait analysis, including pronation, and (2) testing the model’s accuracy against ground-truth gait analysis metrics collected from trained experts using manual video analysis. The results of this project will affect how health professionals assess gait in the future.
Description (French)
Les laboratoires Curv visent à augmenter considérablement l'accessibilité et l'abordabilité des diagnostics musculo-squelettiques précis en permettant à n'importe quelle caméra (par ex., un appareil mobile) d'effectuer des évaluations de capture de mouvements.La technologie de base est un modèle d'apprentissage machine qui identifie avec précision les emplacements anatomiques. Ce projet est axé en particulier sur les mouvements de course (c.-à-d. la démarche) et comporte deux objectifs : d'une part, l'élaboration du modèle d'apprentissage machine spécialisé pour l'analyse de la démarche, y compris la pronation, et d'autre part, l'évaluation de la précision du modèle par rapport aux mesures d'analyse de la démarche sur site témoin recueillies auprès d'experts formés au moyen d'une analyse vidéo manuelle. Les résultats de ce projet auront une incidence sur la façon dont les professionnels de la santé évalueront la démarche à l'avenir.
