The algorithm flow chart. As shown, some of the steps of the algorithm are carried out sequentially and others in parallel. In the last step, a “majority rule” of the different channels is applied to determine if a given window is designated as a suspected misstep. Max - Maximum acceleration amplitude. Min - Minimum acceleration amplitude. Max1 - Acceleration amplitude of the highest peak. Max2 - Acceleration amplitude of the second peak. Min1- Acceleration amplitude of the lowest peak. Min2- Acceleration amplitude of the second lowest peak. AGW- Abnormal gait window. Amp-Amplitude.
