A comprehensive, open-source dataset of lower limb biomechanics in multiple conditions of stairs, ramps, and level-ground ambulation and transitions
Abstract
We introduce a novel dataset containing 3-dimensional biomechanical and wearable sensor data from 22 able-bodied adults for multiple locomotion modes (level-ground/treadmill walking, stair ascent/descent, and ramp ascent/descent) and multiple terrain conditions of each mode (walking speed, stair height, and ramp inclination). In this paper, we present the data collection methods, explain the structure of the open dataset, and report the sensor data along with the kinematic and kinetic profiles of joint biomechanics as a function of the gait phase. This dataset offers a comprehensive source of locomotion information for the same set of subjects to motivate applications in locomotion recognition, developments in robotic assistive devices, and improvement of biomimetic controllers that better adapt to terrain conditions. With such a dataset, models for these applications can be either subject-dependent or subject-independent, allowing greater flexibility for researchers to advance the field.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
