Real-world measurements of ground reaction forces of normal gait of young adults wearing various footwear
Abstract For years, researchers have been recognizing patterns in gait for purposes of medical diagnostics, rehabilitation, and biometrics. A method for observing gait is to measure ground reaction forces (GRFs) between the foot and solid plate with tension sensors. The presented dataset consists of...

| description | Abstract For years, researchers have been recognizing patterns in gait for purposes of medical diagnostics, rehabilitation, and biometrics. A method for observing gait is to measure ground reaction forces (GRFs) between the foot and solid plate with tension sensors. The presented dataset consists of 13,702 measurements of bipedal GRFs of one step of normal gait of 324 students wearing shoes of various types. Each measurement includes raw digital signals of two force plates. A signal comprises stance-related samples but also preceding and following ones, in which one can observe noise, interferences, and artifacts caused by imperfections of devices and walkway. Such real-world time series can be used to study methods for detecting foot-strike and foot-off events, and for coping with artifacts. For user convenience, processed data are also available, which describe only the stance phase of gait and form ready-to-use patterns suitable for experiments in GRF-based recognition of persons and footwear, and for generating synthetic GRF waveforms. The dataset is accompanied by Matlab and Python programs for organizing and validating data. |
