The detection of health problem from daily activities is difficult because its symptoms are very slight and everyone has his own characteristics in his actions. This paper presents a method to detect slight gait disturbance of users. It investigates balance and decline of walking, consulting the normal distribution of healthy gaits. An experiment reveals the method is superior to a commonly used method in the detection of gait disturbance, which varies with each user. The method enables proactive prevention of accidents caused by decline of the elderly and fatigue of workers. |
