This invention discloses a method for estimating
lower limb joint moments based on
deep learning using
physical information, belonging to the field of
lower limb joint moment estimation technology. The method includes: acquiring data from three six-axis inertial measurement units (IMUs) set on the
lower limb during movement and corresponding reference
joint moment data based on an open-source lower limb biomechanical dataset; constructing a temporal input after preprocessing; building a TCN-BiLSTM model combining a temporal convolutional network and a bidirectional long short-
term memory network; establishing a
loss function containing
physical information constraints based on prior knowledge of lower limb dynamics; training the model using the
loss function; and simultaneously estimating the joint moments of the hip, knee, and
ankle joints in the
sagittal plane using the trained model. Compared with existing technologies, this invention can achieve high-precision
estimation of lower limb multi-joint moments under various movement
modes with a small amount of inertial sensor
data input, improving the model's physical consistency, generalization ability, and ease of application.
