Comparison of Deep Neural Network Models and Effectiveness of EMG Signal Feature Value for Estimating Dorsiflexion

Robotic ankle–foot orthoses (AFO) are often used for gait rehabilitation. Our research focuses on the design and development of a robotic AFO with minimum number of sensor inputs. However, this leads to degradation of gait estimation accuracy. To prevent degradation of accuracy, we compared a few ne...
