文摘

A system for detecting and rewarding steps in stair-climbing therapies was designed. The system enhanced motivation for children engaged in stair-climbing therapies. A kinematic database of pathological gait while stair-climbing was established. Step detection accuracy of 96% with a false positive rate of 6%.
