turning walking episodes, and (5) the extraction of
spatial gait parameters from the heel and toe
accelerations, taking advantage from the proposed
algorithm that enables splitting the gait cycle time
into small time intervals and thus the drift from
successive integration in these small intervals could
be minimized. In this context, i.e., the extraction of
spatial gait parameters from accelerometer data, we
obtained promising preliminary results reported in
(Boutaayamou et al., 2017b).
