Dear Joanna/others interested,
Indeed, Santa in Heidelberg did send one set of normative angular velocity
data (see below).
I've added it to the CGA database: http://www.univie.ac.at/cga/data

Dear Chris,
We have some normative data for temporal gradients as an approximation for
joint velocities computed from a data set of 22 children (age 8.3
+-1.8years) walking at self-selected pace (see attachment). The data
set was
recorded in the Gait lab of the Orthopädische Universitätsklinik Heidelberg
in Germany by Sebastian Wolf and Leonhard Doederlein.
The methodology is described in Eq. (1) from
Wolf, S.; Loose, T.; Schablowski, M.; Döderlein, L.; Rupp, R.; Gerner, H.
J.; Bretthauer, G.; Mikut, R.:
Automated feature assessment in instrumented gait
analysis.
Gait & Posture, 23 (3), pp. 331-338; 2006
The resulting units for the temporal gradients are degree per percent gait
cycle.
The data are processed using the open source MATLAB toolbox Gait-CAD (see
http://www.iai.fzk.de/projekte/biosignal/public_html/index.html).
At the moment, this toolbox is only available in German language – but an
English version is under development.
If you want, you can provide this mail via the CGA list.
Best regards
Ralf
