Complex Interplay Between Emotional States and Gait Parameters: A Domain-Specific Investigation in Healthy Young Adults

This dataset contains spatiotemporal gait parameters and concurrent mood assessments from 16 healthy young adults across multiple sessions during an academic semester. Data were collected to examine relationships between naturally occurring mood states and walking characteristics, accounting for time-of-day variations and individual differences. For detailed protocol information, please refer to the published manuscript.Dataset Contents<b>gait_data.csv</b> (n=73 observations):Spatiotemporal parameters (temporal, spatial, phase organization)Gait variability measuresAnthropometric data<b>mood_data.csv</b> (n=67 observations):Individual emotion ratingsComposite affect scores<b>gait_mood_merged.csv</b> (matched observations):Combined dataset for direct analysis of mood-gait relationshipsTechnical NotesParticipant identifiers anonymizedTemporal relationships preserved through relative study daysSession timing (morning/afternoon) maintainedAll measurements standardized and quality-controlled
