A Space-Gamified Approach to Examine Muscle Contraction Behaviour in Children and Adolescents with Spastic Cerebral Palsy: Feasibility, Acceptability and Repeatbility

In this study we investigated feasibility, acceptance and repeatability of a space-gamified measurement procedure with children and adolescents with and without spastic cerebral palsy. The measurement procedure was created to investigate active musle mechanics and function. The presented raw data were collected from 12 study participants with and 12 without spastic cerebral palsy on two visits per participant. The folder contains two types of files. Files with the name structure "Frame-CP_<i>SubjectID</i>Visit.txt" contain raw signals of EMG (tibialis anterior, soleus and lateral gastrocnemius), ankle angle, torque and trigger of the whole measurement. Files with the name structure "Frame-C-cal_<i>Month</i>.txt" contain monthly calibration measurements of the raw torque signal. For calibration the signal of a 1 m lever was recorded without load, with 5 kg load and 10 kg load, creating a two step signal representing 0 Nm, 49.05 and 98.10 Nm, respectively.Additionally, the file "Demographics.csv" contains demographic data of all participants.
