Whole-body optical marker and ground reaction force data of healthy humans performing non-cyclic activities

Description

Mohsen Alizadeh Noghani, Sebastian Green, and Edgar Bolivar-Nieto share a data set of whole-body movement in healthy adults, released in twenty twenty-five. Balance research and wearable robot control both need accurate tracking of the body center of mass. Many data sets lack full-body markers or complete ground force records, and most cover only repeating motions like walking. Their recordings cover a set of mostly one-off balance tasks drawn largely from a standard clinical balance scale. Motion markers and three-dimensional ground forces were captured together.

Alongside the raw records, the team provides worked results: joint motions, forces, and estimates of center of mass position and speed. Researchers can use the data to study balance in less routine movements, to test estimation methods, or to design controllers for powered prosthetic legs. The data set fills a clear gap for non-repeating whole-body motion.
