Abstract
A method and apparatus for recognizing a gait pattern are provided. The method for recognizing a gate pattern includes: obtaining a walker's foot pressure distribution values through a pressure sensor array disposed at the bottom of a pair of shoes; calculating valid pressure points among the foot pressure distribution values; calculating a center of pressure (COP) movement trace by using the valid pressure points; and recognizing the walker's gait pattern by using the COP movement trace.
