+# Gait-events-identification-algorithm
+A python algorithm to detect foot contact and foot clearance using kinematic or inertial data during forward or backward walking.
+
+This git includes a seperate algorithm for FW and BW event calculation, as well as examples of data files (for kinematic and IMU data).
+
+If you find this helpful, please leave a comment, and / or cite the paper:
