Table 1.

The training and testing schemes for both the kinematic and kinetic estimations are represented.

ANN1
Scheme Training input Training output Reference
1 3 IMU orientations IMU lower-body joint angles IMU lower-body joint angles
2 3 IMU orientations Plug-In Gait lower-body joint angles Plug-In Gait lower-body joint angles
ANN2
1 IMU lower-body joint angles vGRF (FP) vGRF (FP)
2 Plug-In Gait lower-body joint angles vGRF (FP) vGRF (FP)

Where input to ANN1 is in all cases the measured relative orientations from the three on-body IMUs (placed at the pelvis and both lower legs), and the output can be from the inertial (IMU) or optical (Plug-In Gait) measurements. This is then input to the kinetic estimation part (ANN2), for which the output is all cases the measured vertical Ground Reaction Forces (vGRF) using the forceplates (FP).
