We share the raw data, in the form of Vicon files (C3D), processed data, OpenSim input and result files, a data summary MAT file, and figures representing the static standing trials (anonymized) and generated data.</p><h2 dir="ltr">Included Files</h2><p dir="ltr">The included files and folders are:</p><ul><li><b>figures: </b>folder with anonymized pictures of subjects in the static pose, as well as figures of the generated data.</li><li><b>rawData: </b>folder with the raw Vicon data, including C3D files containing the raw marker, ground reaction forces and EMG data.</li><li><b>OpenSim</b>: folder with the processed marker, ground reaction forces and EMG signals, as well as the input and output files from OpenSim.</li><li><b>MAT_normalizedData.mat</b>: summary MAT-structure, containing the gait-averaged, synchronized kinematics, kinetics, ground reaction forces, joint powers, speeds and EMG signals, as well as subject characteristics.</li><li><b>EMGflags.mat</b>: summary structure of the faulty EMG signals, removed during processing.
