The classification of walking and phases of gait using EEG: a scoping review.

The review only included English language studies, so relevant work in other languages may be missing. It excluded studies focused only on imagined movement or movement intention, so it does not cover that larger body of work. The included studies used very different methods, tasks, settings and metrics, so their results cannot be compared directly. Most participants were healthy adults, and no included study classified gait phases in people with central neurological pathology. Most studies were done in controlled indoor settings and analysed data offline, so they do not show how classification would work during real time gait training. The review did not appraise the quality of the included studies.

The paper states that the funder was Science Foundation Ireland.

Do not read the reported performance figures as evidence that EEG-controlled robotic gait training is ready for clinical use. Most studies were offline, healthy, indoor, and no gait phase classification was done in neurological patients.
