الوصف: Stroke causes neurological pathologies, including gait pathologies, which are diagnosed by gait analysis. However, existing gait analysis devices are difficult to use in situ or are disrupted by external conditions. To overcome these drawbacks, a flexible capacitance sensor was developed in this study. To date, a performance comparison of flexible sensors with different dimensions has not been carried out. The aim of this study was to provide optimized sensor dimension information for gait analysis. To accomplish this, sensors with seven different dimensions were fabricated. The dimensions of the sensors were based on the average body size and movement range of 20- to 59-year-old adults. The sensors were characterized by 100 oscillations. The minimum hysteresis error was 8%. After that, four subjects were equipped with the sensor and walked on a treadmill at a speed of 3.6 km/h. All walking processes were filmed at 50 fps and analyzed in Kinovea. The RMS error was calculated using the same frame rate of the video and the sampling rate of the signal from the sensor. The smallest RMS error between the sensor data and the ankle angle was 3.13° using the 49 × 8 mm sensor. In this study, we confirm the dimensions of the sensor with the highest gait analysis accuracy; therefore, the results can be used to make decisions regarding sensor dimensions.
