Look at the VAKHUM website:
http://www.ulb.ac.be/project/vakhum
and clink on the "Data" link.
VAKHUM was a project (funded by the European Commission) that created a large morphology and motion data database related to the lower limb. Part of it is available from the above website (including CT, geometric and FEM models + motion data for an entire pair of lower limbs, and documentation).
Good luck !
