Plug-in Gait databases

[Philippe C. Dixon]

Dear colleagues,

I am working on the analysis of lower-limb plug-in gait (PiG) data and require additional data to validate my models. Does anyone have PiG walking data that there are willing to share? Alternatively, links to existing public databases containing these data would be appreciated.

Best wishes,

Phil

Dear Dr. Dixon,

I have some data from normal adults (20 subjects - mean age 26.2 +/- 5.4) - c3d, gcd, vst and mp files can be sent using Microsoft One Drive or Google Drive.
However, the Vicon Plug-in Gait model was used with the thigh markers positioned on the patella (*):

Epub 2007 Aug 20. PMID: 17703941.

Note: a normative gait database is available on the CGA website organized by Dr Chris Kirtley, however, the data was processed by the old Vicon VCM software.

Thank you for your attention.
Best Regards,

Wagner de Godoy

Dear Philippe,
Luca Modenese has done an excellent job of listing public databset:

If you can't find the data that matches what you are looking for, we can share data on healthy subjects with the markerset CGM2.3 (with wands) https://pycgm2.github.io/pages/CGM23-Overview.html
Kind regards
Stéphane
