Kinematic data from owner-sound horses walking and trotting on a straight line

This dataset contains averaged data of 28 kinematic parameters extracted with the EquiMoves® software. In total, 425 horses from four different breeds were measured on a straight line in hand at the walk and trot. Horses were equipped with the seven IMU sensors and led along a track of 25-46 meters that was either a soft (sand arena) or hard (asphalt) surface. Limb length and wither's height (available for the majority of horses) as well as the speed of the horses (measured with a separate timing device, stopwatch or Freelap®) are available to scale the data based on speed and height. Whether the horses were shod (in front, all four, or not at all) was also recorded. Age can be extracted from the data of the measurement year and year of birth of the horses. The horses can be considered owner-sound (no obvious lameness, but potential irregularities cannot be excluded). For more information regarding the dataset, please consult the data paper provided in the link. In this version of the dataset from April 30, 2024, we removed horses with uneven shoeing and merged the shoeing variables into one for simplicity (SHOE, 0= unshod, 1=shod in front, 2=shod front and hind).

背景概述

该数据集包含425匹来自四种品种的马在直线行走和慢跑时的28个运动学参数（使用IMU传感器测量），并记录了马匹的肢体长度、马肩高度、速度、路面类型（软沙或硬沥青）以及钉蹄状态。数据可用于基于速度和身高的缩放分析，且马匹均为“owner-sound”（无明显跛行但可能存在不规则性）。
