Gait Event Detection (GED) plays a pivotal role in understanding human locomotion, with applications spanning rehabilitation, prosthesis design, sports science, and biomechanics. Accurate identification of key gait events—such as Heel Strike (HS), Loading Response (LS), Mid-Stance (MS), and Heel Off (HO)—during the stance phase of the gait cycle is essential for analyzing movement patterns, diagnosing gait abnormalities, and developing assistive technologies.
Surface EMG (sEMG) signals collected during activities of daily life (ADL) provide better insights toward understanding neuromuscular disorders, persons with limb disabilities, aging adults and neuromotor deficits. Hand movement and control mechanism analysis may improve the design of prosthetic devices, realistic biomechanical hands, and rehabilitation therapy. We present a sEMG signal database corresponding to the Indian population. The institutional ethics committee of Indian Institute of Information Technology Sri City (No.
