A CNN–LSTM-Based Prediction Method of Lower-Limb Parameters Across Multiple Locomotion Modes
摘要
Locomotion Mode Recognition (LMR) is a key topic in rehabilitation and exoskeleton robotics research, with locomotion transitions presenting a particularly challenging problem. This paper proposes a CNN–LSTM hybrid neural network model for predicting lower-limb joint angles during mode transitions, capable of producing multi-step forecasts. Experimental results demonstrate that our model achieves an average mean absolute error (MAE) of 3.79 \(^\circ \) and an average lead time of approximately 90 ms. These performance levels satisfy the requirements for real-time transition prediction. Building on this predictive capability, future work will focus on using the forecasted gait parameters to recognize and classify transitions between locomotion modes.
