Cover Story: Exoskeletons support rehabilitation of motor dysfunctions by complementing patient effort in achieving intended movements, a task requiring precise online control. We investigated Deep Learning (DL) models to predict gait phases (stance/swing) from sEMG during assisted walking, exploiting early muscle activation relative to limb motion and adjusting the joint kinematics-based labeling. A cross-subject design improved generalization, and hyperparameter tuning reduced model size. Using a trade-off score (TOS) for cost–performance analysis, we identified a DL model achieving ~95% accuracy with <10 ms computation, enabling accurate online exoskeleton control in realistic scenarios. View this paper
