The biomechanics of human walking are well documented for standard conditions such as for self-selected step length and preferred speed. However, humans can and do walk with a variety of other step lengths and speeds during daily living. The variation of biomechanics across gait conditions may be important for describing and determining the mechanics of locomotion. To address this, we present an open biomechanics dataset of steady walking at a broad range of conditions, including 33 experimentally-controlled combinations of speed (0.7–2.0 m·s−1), step length (0.5–1.1 m), and step width (0–0.4 m). The dataset contains ground reaction forces and motions from healthy young adults (N = 10), collected using split-belt instrumented treadmill and motion capture systems respectively. Most trials also include pre-computed inverse dynamics, including 3D joint positions, angles, torques and powers, as well as intersegmental forces. Apart from raw data, we also provide five strides of good quality data without artifacts for each trial, and sample software for visualization and analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
