Modern Methods for Affordable Clinical Gait Analysis: Theories and Applications in Healthcare Systems is a handbook of techniques, tools and procedures for the study and improvement of human gait. It gives a concise description of clinical gait analysis, especially gait abnormality detection problems and therapeutic interventions using inexpensive devices. A brief demonstration on validation testing of these devices for its clinical applicability is also presented. Content coverage also includes step-by-step processing of the data acquired from these devices. Future perspectives of low-cost clinical gait assessment systems are explored. This book bridges the gap between engineering and biomedical fields as it diagnoses and monitors neuro-musculoskeletal abnormalities using the latest technologies. The authors discuss how early detection technology allows us to take precautionary measures, in order to delay the degeneration process, through development of a clinical gait analysis tool. One unique feature of this book is that it pays significant attention to the challenges of conducting gait analysis in developing countries with limited resources. This reference will guide you through setting up a low-cost gait analysis lab. It explores the relationship between vision-based pathological gait detection, the design of tools for gait diagnosis and therapeutic interventions. - Provides a concise tutorial on affordable clinical gait analysis - Analyses clinical validation of low-cost sensors for gait assessment - Documents recent and state-of-the-art low-cost gait abnormality detection systems and therapeutic intervention procedures

Dr. Anup Nandy is working as an Assistant Professor (Grade I) in Department of Computer Science and Engineering at National Institute of Technology (NIT), Rourkela. He earned his PhD from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad, in the year of 2016. His research interest includes Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Human Gait Analysis, Computing Human Cognition, and Robotics. He received an Early Career Research Award from SERB, Government of India in 2017 for conducting research on 'Human Cognitive State Estimation through Multimodal Gait Analysis.” He received research funding for Indo-Japanese Bilateral research project, funded by DST, Government of India and JSPS, Japan, with joint collaboration of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT). He received a prestigious NVIDIA GPU Grant Award in 2018 for his research on Gait Abnormality Detection using Deep Learning Techniques. He was selected as Indian Young Scientist in the thematic area of Artificial Intelligence to participate in fifth BRICS Conclave 2020 held at Chelyabinsk, Russia, from Sept 21e25, 2020. Recently, he received research grant from DST, Government of India and Ministry of Science and ICT of the Republic of Korea in February 2021 with joint collaboration of Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. He has published a good number of research papers in reputed conferences and journals.
