Title:
Applying Deep Learning to Gait Analysis via Monocular Video: Predicting Gait Metrics from Labeled Images
Agreement Number:
937281
Agreement Value:
$280,967.00
Agreement Date:
Nov 4, 2019 - Sep 30, 2020
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.
