    Abstract:
    Using inertial measurement units (IMUs) to estimate lower limb joint kinematics and kinetics can provide valuable information for disease diagnosis and rehabilitation assessment. To estimate gait parameters using IMUs, model-based filtering approaches have been proposed, such as the Kalman filter and complementary filter. However, these methods require special calibration and alignment of IMUs. The development of deep learning algorithms has facilitated the application of IMUs in biomechanics as it does not require particular calibration and alignment procedures of IMUs in use. To estimate hip/knee/ankle joint angles and moments in the sagittal plane, a subject-independent temporal convolutional neural network-bidirectional long short-term memory network (TCN-BiLSTM) model was proposed using three IMUs. A public benchmark dataset containing the most representative locomotive activities in daily life was used to train and evaluate the TCN-BiLSTM model. The mean Pearson correlation coefficient of joint angles and moments estimated by the proposed model reached 0.92 and 0.87, respectively. This indicates that the TCN-BiLSTM model can effectively estimate joint angles and moments in multiple scenarios, demonstrating its potential for application in clinical and daily life scenarios.
