Abstract 

Sequential skeleton and average foot pressure data for normal and five pathological gaits (i.e., antalgic, lurching, steppage, stiff-legged, and Trendelenburg) were simultaneously collected. The skeleton data were collected by using Azure Kinect (Microsoft Corp. Redmond, WA, USA). The average foot pressure data were collected by GW1100 (GHIWell, Korea). 12 healthy subjects participated in data collection. They simulated the pathological gaits under strict supervision. A total of 1,440 data instances (12 people x 6 gait types x 20 walkings) were collected.

Instructions: 

The database contains two types of pathological gait datasets.

  1. Skeleton data obtained by using Azure Kinect (size = sequences x 97)
  2. Average foot pressure data obtained by GW1100 (size = 48 x 128)

Azure Kinect Skeleton

The skeleton data are formatted as (time, joint0_x, joint0_y, joint0_z, ... , joint31_x, joint31_y, joint31_z). We captured the skeleton data of 4-m walkway. The joint numbers can be found in https://docs.microsoft.com/ko-kr/azure/kinect-dk/body-joints.

They were calibrated as below:

  • x_axis: orthogonal to walking direction
  • y_axis: walking direction
  • z_axis: normal to the ground, upward

Average Foot Pressure

GW1100 is a 1080mm x 480mm sized pressure plate and contains 6,144 high-voltage matrix sensors with maximum pressure 100 N/cm^2.
