“…Machine learning (ML) is widely used in many fields such as medical diagnosis (Begg and Kamruzzaman, 2006;Farah et al, 2019), pattern recognition (Shim and Lee, 2015;Souza and Stemmer, 2018), image processing (Leightley et al, 2017;Wei et al, 2018), classification (Van Gestel et al, 2011;Senanayake et al, 2014), predictive analysis (Yoo et al, 2013;Pla et al, 2017;Xiong et al, 2019), monitoring (Van Gestel et al, 2011;Yoo et al, 2013;Senanayake et al, 2014;Xiong et al, 2019;Zeng et al, 2020), and is therefore suitable for gait research. Nonetheless, ML techniques have been used in many gait applications, such as diagnosing gait disorders (Alaqtash et al, 2011a;Devanne et al, 2016;Leightley et al, 2017), predicting early intervention related to fall-related risks due to disability or aging (Begg et al, 2005;Begg and Kamruzzaman, 2006;Paulo et al, 2019), determining motor recovery tasks (Costa et al, 2016b;Goh et al, 2018), or planning rehabilitation or therapeutic interventions (Liu et al, 2016;Thongsook et al, 2019).…”
