    2. Gait measurement devices

    In this article, we present various solutions for human motion-based control that provide assistance to individuals through the use of a smart walker. In this section, we will present devices for measuring gait and controls that integrate these measurements. We will then focus on the problem of intention detection and controls that allow this type of information to be exploited.

    2.1 Walking assessment by step estimation

    Several strategies can be used to deduce a person's walking motion. First, it is very useful to understand the possibilities associated with human movement. There is therefore a frequency property to be identified. Human movement has limited dynamics: according to Godfrey et al.
