In this study, a gait phase estimation algorithm is proposed that uses data from force sensing resistors (FSRs) and a Bi-LSTM model. The proposed algorithm estimates gait phases in real time under various WCs, e.g., walking on paved/unpaved roads, ascending and descending stairs, and ascending or descending on ramps. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by performing walking experiments on ten healthy adult participants. An average gait estimation accuracy exceeding 90% is observed with a small error (root mean square error = 0.794, R2 score = 0.906) across various WCs. These results demonstrate the wide applicability of the proposed gait phase estimation algorithm using various insole devices, e.g., in walking aid control, gait disturbance diagnosis in daily life, and motor ability analysis.
