A biomechanics dataset of healthy human walking at various speeds, step lengths and step widths.

ABSTRACT: 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. Mo
