A study was conducted to benchmark the ability of multiple deep neural network (DNN) architectures to predict 12 STGPs from inertial measurement unit (IMU) data and to identify an optimal sensor combination, which has yet to be studied for OA and TKA subjects. DNNs were trained using movement data from 29 subjects, walking at slow, normal, and fast paces and evaluated with cross-fold validation over the subjects. Optimal sensor locations were determined by comparing prediction accuracy with 15 IMU configurations (pelvis, thigh, shank, and feet). Percent error across the 12 STGPs ranged from 2.1% (stride time) to 73.7% (toe-out angle) and overall was more accurate in temporal parameters than spatial parameters. The most and least accurate sensor combinations were feet-thighs and singular pelvis, respectively. DNNs showed promising results in predicting STGPs for OA and TKA subjects based on signals from IMU sensors and overcomes the dependency on sensor locations that can hinder the design of patient monitoring systems for clinical application.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20195553","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,28]],"date-time":"2020-09-28T08:02:58Z","timestamp":1601280178000},"page":"5553","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Deep Learning in Gait Parameter Prediction for OA and TKA Patients Wearing IMU Sensors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Mohsen","family":"Sharifi Renani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics, University of Denver, Denver, CO 80208, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Casey A.","family":"Myers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics, University of Denver, Denver, CO 80208, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rohola","family":"Zandie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics, University of Denver, Denver, CO 80208, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammad H.","family":"Mahoor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics, University of Denver, Denver, CO 80208, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bradley S.","family":"Davidson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics, University of Denver, Denver, CO 80208, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chadd W.","family":"Clary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics, University of Denver, Denver, CO 80208, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"269","DOI":"10.1007\/s40279-015-0421-9","article-title":"Return to Sports and Physical Activity After Total and Unicondylar Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis","volume":"46","author":"Witjes","year":"2016","journal-title":"Sports Med."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"742","DOI":"10.1177\/1545968313491004","article-title":"Does the Evaluation of Gait Quality During Daily Life Provide Insight Into Fall Risk?
