AnDy suit: human weight lifting wearable data

This dataset comprises wearable data, collected using An.Dy. suit, from two weight lifting experiments of a human subject. Wearable data include kinematic measurements acquired with the Xsens Motion Tracking system (composed by 17 IMUs) and iFeel shoes (force/torque sensorized shoes developed by Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia).

The experimental design is the following:

Experiment 01

Lifting task Geometry, accordingly to NIOSH convention:

H = 63 cm

V = 30 cm

D = 40 cm

CM = 0.9

Load = 7 kg

The task is executed 10 times.

Experiment 02

Lifting task Geometry, accordingly to NIOSH convention:

H = 31 cm

V = 66 cm

D = 42 cm

CM = 1

Load = 5 kg

The task has been executed:

5 minutes: Lifting with back only

5 minutes: Lifting with back plus leg
