PEPATO

PErformance indicators of spatiotemporal PATterns of the spinal muscle coordination Output during walking with an exoskeleton

Data format

4.5. Electromyography file Please specify the EMG timestamp in miliseconds (see examples from test_data folder)

4.9. Gait events file

• Electromiography and Gait events files should be named the same
• File name format (gait speed V should be from the list of [2, 4, 6] km per hour):

  subject_N_run_R_emg_speedVkmh.csv
  subject_N_run_R_gaitEvents_speedVkmh.yaml

  Full datasets available for adults (10 subjects, both body sides) and elderly (10 subjects, right body side only).

MATLAB version >= 2015b, Statistics and Signal processing toolboxes required

(full functionality, advanced GUI, see User Gide)

Usage (MATLAB command window)

>>> PEPATO(8, 'left', 'cfg/initial_cfg', 'db/db_healthy_adults_8m', {'BiFe', 'SeTe', 'VaMe', 'VaLa', 'ReFe', 'TiAn', 'GaMe', 'Sol'});

• Set GUI font size, body side, path to config file, path to database file and muscle list (optional)
• Databases available for {'BiFe', 'SeTe', 'VaMe', 'VaLa', 'ReFe', 'TiAn', 'GaMe', 'Sol'} muscle list: db_healthy_adults_8m - adults, db_healthy_elderly_8m - elderly

Octave version >= 5.2.0

(basic functionality)

Packages required: signal >= 1.4.1 statistics >= 1.4.1

Usage (shell)

>>> ./run_pepato left BLF db_healthy_adults_8m ./test_data/input/subject_0_run_0_emg_speed2kmh.csv ./test_data/input/subject_0_run_0_gaitEvents_speed2kmh.yaml ./test_data/input/subject_0_run_0_emg_speed4kmh.csv ./test_data/input/subject_0_run_0_gaitEvents_speed4kmh.yaml ./test_data/input/subject_0_run_0_emg_speed6kmh.csv ./test_data/input/subject_0_run_0_gaitEvents_speed6kmh.yaml ./test_data/output

• Set body side, NMF stop criteria, database filename (from pepato/db folder), input files (random order allowed) and output directory
• Body side should be from the list of ['left', 'right']
• NMF stop criteria should be from the list of ['BLF', 'R2=0.90', 'N=4']
• Databases available: db_healthy_adults_8m, db_healthy_elderly_8m

Usage (octave-client console)

>>> pepato_basic({'test_data/input/subject_0_run_0_emg_speed2kmh.csv', 'test_data/input/subject_0_run_0_gaitEvents_speed2kmh.yaml', 'test_data/input/subject_0_run_0_emg_speed4kmh.csv', 'test_data/input/subject_0_run_0_gaitEvents_speed4kmh.yaml', 'test_data/input/subject_0_run_0_emg_speed6kmh.csv', 'test_data/input/subject_0_run_0_gaitEvents_speed6kmh.yaml'}, 'test_data/output', 'left', {30, 400, 200, 8, 50, 'BLF'}, 'db/db_healthy_adults_8m', {'BiFe', 'SeTe', 'VaMe', 'VaLa', 'ReFe', 'TiAn', 'GaMe', 'Sol'});

• Set input_folder, output_folder, body_side, config parameters, database filename and list of muscles (optional)
• Format of path folder: path from current folder or full path
• The output files will be saved to the output folder as 'subject_N_run_R_PIname.yaml'
