APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING WALKING PATTERN

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for generating a walking pattern, more specifically, to an apparatus and method for generating a walking pattern capable of suggesting walking pattern information suitable for a patient in a follow-up rehabilitation training of the patient by classifying and storing a plurality of walking patterns based on body characteristics and anthropometrics related to walking. A walking pattern generating apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a variable selecting unit for selecting lower extremity features and body characteristics and anthropometrics related to walking; a data obtaining unit for obtaining data about a walking pattern by associating the lower extremity features and the body characteristics and anthropometrics selected by the variable selecting unit; a clustering executing unit for generating and storing hierarchical clusters by classifying the data about the walking pattern based on similarity between the body characteristics and anthropometrics; and a walking pattern generating unit for generating a representative walking pattern of each of the clusters by computing an average walking pattern of the data stored in each of the hierarchical clusters.
