A dataset of overground walking full-body kinematics and kinetics in individuals with Parkinson’s disease

The data set comprises raw and processed (both in c3d and csv formats) full-body kinematics and kinetics signals of 26 individuals with Parkinson's disease walking in overground in ON and OFF medication. The data were collected using a three-dimensional (3D) motion-capture system while the subjects walked barefoot. A file of metadata (xls), including anthropometrics and information related to each file in the data set is also provided. In addition, a model file (mdh) and a pipeline file (v3s) for the Visual 3D software program are also provided. The data collection was performed in the <strong>Laboratory of Biomechanics and Motor Control at the Federal University of ABC, Brazil</strong>. Standard gait analysis was collected using a motion-capture system that had 12 cameras (Raptor-4; Motion Analysis Corporation, Santa Rosa, CA, USA), five force platforms (three 40 × 60-cm Optima models; AMTI, Watertown, MA, USA; two 40 × 60-cm 9281EA models; Kistler, Winterthur, Switzerland) embedded in the floor. The marker-set protocol adopted for this study comprised: (a) in the lower limb, 26 anatomical reflective markers (Leardini et al., 2007); and (b) trunk and upper limb, 18 anatomical reflective markers following the recommendations of the International Society of Biomechanics (Wu et al., 2002;Wu et al., 2005); totaling 44 anatomical reflective markers <br>
