Goal: Gait analysis using inertial measurement units (IMUs) has emerged as a promising method for monitoring movement disorders. However, the lack of public data and easy-to-use open-source algorithms hinders method comparison and clinical application development. To address these challenges, this publication introduces the gaitmap ecosystem, a comprehensive set of open source Python packages for gait analysis using foot-worn IMUs. Methods: This initial release includes over 20 state-of-the-art algorithms, enables easy access to seven datasets, and provides eight benchmark challenges with reference implementations...
