Segmentation

Gaitalytics provides a way to segment the data into gait cycles. gaitalytics.api.segment_trial() segments data into time series form heel strike to heel strike.

Alternatively, the parameter method=”TO” can be used to segment the data from toe off to toe off.

from gaitalytics import api

config = api.load_config("./config.yaml")
trial = api.load_c3d_trial("./example_with_events.c3d", config)
segmented_trial = api.segment_trial(trial)

The function returns a gaitalytics.model.TrialCycles object. It contains a dictionary with the cycles number as key and a gaitalytics.model.Trial object as value.

Hint

The loaded gaitalytics.model.Trial object must contain gait events for segmentation.
