Sarcopenia diagnosis using skeleton-based gait sequence and foot-pressure image datasets by Muhammad Tahir Naseem, Na-Hyun Kim, Haneol Seo, JaeMok Lee, Chul-Min Chung, Sunghoon Shin, Chan-Su Lee

“…IntroductionSarcopenia is a common age-related disease, defined as a decrease in muscle strength and function owing to reduced skeletal muscle. One way to diagnose sarcopenia is through gait analysis and foot-pressure imaging.Motivation and research gapWe collected our own multimodal dataset from 100 subjects, consisting of both foot-pressure and skeleton data with real patients, which provides a unique resource for future studies aimed at more comprehensive analyses. …”
