• Abstract summary: We demonstrate the excellent validity and test-retest repeatability of a novel gait assessment system built upon modern convolutional neural networks. All measured gait parameters showed excellent concurrent validity for multiple walk trials at normal and fast gait speeds. In conclusion, we are convinced that our results can pave the way for cost, space and operationally effective gait analysis in broad mainstream applications.

• Abstract: Despite its paramount importance for manifold use cases (e.g., in the health care industry, sports, rehabilitation and fitness assessment), sufficiently valid and reliable gait parameter measurement is still limited to high-tech gait laboratories mostly. Here, we demonstrate the excellent validity and test-retest repeatability of a novel gait assessment system which is built upon modern convolutional neural networks to extract three-dimensional skeleton joints from monocular frontal-view videos of walking humans. The validity study is based on a comparison to the GAITRite pressure-sensitive walkway system. All measured gait parameters (gait speed, cadence, step length and step time) showed excellent concurrent validity for multiple walk trials at normal and fast gait speeds. The test-retest-repeatability is on the same level as the GAITRite system. In conclusion, we are convinced that our results can pave the way for cost, space and operationally effective gait analysis in broad mainstream applications. Most sensor-based systems are costly, must be operated by extensively trained personnel (e.g., motion capture systems) or - even if not quite as costly - still possess considerable complexity (e.g., wearable sensors). In contrast, a video sufficient for the assessment method presented here can be obtained by anyone, without much training, via a smartphone camera.

QAMem is designed to enhance the discriminative ability of queries on low-resolution feature maps by assigning separate memory values to each query rather than a shared one.
