Over the past few years, the division of gait phases has emerged as a complex area of research that carries significant importance for various applications in the field of gait technologies. The accurate partitioning of gait phases plays a crucial role in advancing these applications. Researchers have been exploring a range of sensors that can be employed to provide data for algorithms involved in gait phase partitioning. These sensors can be broadly categorized into two types: wearable and non-wearable, each offering unique advantages and capabilities. In our study aimed at examining the current approaches to gait analysis and detection specifically designed for implementation in ambulatory rehabilitation systems, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis of existing research studies. Our analysis revealed a diverse range of sensors and sensor combinations that demonstrate the ability to analyze gait patterns in ambulatory settings. These sensor options vary from basic force-based binary switches to more intricate setups incorporating multiple inertial sensors and sophisticated algorithms. The findings highlight the wide spectrum of available technologies and methodologies used in gait analysis for ambulatory applications. To conduct an extensive review, we systematically examined two prominent databases, IEEE and Scopus, with the aim of identifying relevant studies pertaining to gait analysis. The search criteria were limited to 189 papers published between 1999 and 2023. From this pool, we identified and included five papers that specifically focused on various techniques including Thresholding, Quasi-static method, adaptive classifier, and SVM-based approaches. These selected papers provided valuable insights for our review.
