Abstract
The present disclosure presents improved treadmill control systems and methods. One such method comprises initiating a recording a video sequence of a walking exercise by a subject on a treadmill device; extracting intra-gait phases of the subject from the recorded video sequence using a video temporal alignment with a neural network; generating a series of treadmill belt control settings for the treadmill device corresponding to each phase of the gait pattern of the subject; and signaling the series of treadmill belt control settings to a motor controller of the treadmill device. Other methods and systems are also provided.
