Abstract
The knee adduction and flexion moment provides critical information about knee joint health, while 3D ground reaction forces (GRFs) help identify force and energy characteristics for maneuvering the entire human body. Existing methods of acquiring joint moments and GRFs require expensive equipment, time-consuming pre-processing, and limited accessibility. This study proposes to tackle these limitations by utilizing only smartphone videos to estimate joint moments and 3D GRFs accurately. We also propose the augmentation of joint kinematics by generating additional modalities of 2D joint center velocity and acceleration from 2D joint center position acquired from the videos. This augmented joint kinematics helps to apply a multi-modal fusion module to learn the importance of inter-modal interactions. Additionally, we utilize recurrent neural networks and graph convolutional networks to…
