| Summary: | Classification of foot–ground contact phases, as well as the swing phase is essential in biomechanics domains where lower-limb motion analysis is required; this analysis is used for lower-limb rehabilitation, walking gait analysis and improvement, and exoskeleton motion capture. In this study, sliding-window label overlapping of time-series wearable motion data in training dataset acquisition is proposed to accurately detect foot–ground contact phases, which are composed of 3 sub-phases as well as the swing phase, at a frequency of 100 Hz with a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture. We not only succeeded in developing a real-time CNN model for learning and obtaining a test accuracy of 99.8% or higher, but also confirmed that its validation accuracy was close to 85%.
