Previous research has demonstrated that children with autism walk with atypical ankle kinematics and kinetics. Although these studies have utilized single-segment foot (SSF) data, multisegment foot (MSF) kinematics can provide further information on foot mechanics. Machine learning (ML) tools allow the combination of MSF kinematic features for classifying autism gait patterns. In this study, multiple ML models are investigated, and the most contributing features are determined. This study involved 19 children with autism and 21 age-matched controls performing walking trials. A 34-marker system and a 12-camera motion capture system were used to compute SSF and MSF angles during walking. Features extracted from these foot angles and their combinations were used to develop support vector machine (SVM) models. Additional techniques-S Hapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) and the Shapley Additive Global importancE (SAGE) are used for local and global importance of the black-box ML models. The results suggest that models based on combinations of MSF kinematic features classify autism patterns with an accuracy of 96.3%, which is higher than using SSF kinematic features (83.8%). The relative angle between the metatarsal and midfoot segments had the highest contribution to the classification of autism gait patterns. The study demonstrated that kinematic features from MSF angles, supported by ML models, can provide an accurate and interpretable classification of autism and control patterns in children.
