The HuMoD Database is an open database for the investigation, modeling and simulation of human motion dynamics with a focus on lower limbs. The database contains raw and processed biomechanical measurement data from a three-dimensional motion capture system, an instrumented treadmill and an electromyographical measurement system for eight different motion tasks performed by a female and male subject as well as anthropometric parameters for both subjects.

Documentation

The documentation provides detailed information about the structure and content of the data files as well as additional information about the subjects, motion protocol, measurement setup and data processing.

Examples

Example 1: Plot the right knee joint angle of the first female straight walking dataset

data = load([ 'A' , filesep, '1.1.mat' ]); indexKJ_R = find(strcmp(data.motion.trajectoryLabels, 'rKJZ_R' )); timeKJ_R = 0:(1 / data.motion.frameRate):((data.motion.frames - 1) / data.motion.frameRate); plot(timeKJ_R, data.motion.trajectory.q(indexKJ_R, :)); xlabel( 'Time in s' ); ylabel( 'Right knee angle in rad' );

Example 2: Plot the left ankle joint acceleration, filtered activity of the left soleus muscle and left vertical ground reaction force of the 10th step in the first female straight running dataset

data = load([ 'A' , filesep, '2.1.mat' ]); indexAJ_L = find(strcmp(data.motion.trajectoryLabels, 'rAJZ_L' )); indexSOL_L = find(strcmp(data.muscle.muscleLabels, 'SOL_L' )); stepStart = data.events.eventStart_L(10); stepEnd = data.events.eventStart_L(11); startIndexAJ_L = round(stepStart * data.motion.frameRate) + 1; endIndexAJ_L = round(stepEnd * data.motion.frameRate) + 1; startIndexSOL_L = round(stepStart * data.muscle.frameRate) + 1; endIndexSOL_L = round(stepEnd * data.muscle.frameRate) + 1; startIndexGRFY_L = round(stepStart * data.force.frameRate) + 1; endIndexGRFY_L = round(stepEnd * data.force.frameRate) + 1; subplot(1, 3, 1); timeAJ_L = stepStart:(1 / data.motion.frameRate):stepEnd; plot(timeAJ_L, data.motion.trajectory.ddqddt(indexAJ_L, startIndexAJ_L:endIndexAJ_L)); xlabel( 'Time in s' ); ylabel( 'Left ankle acceleration in rad/s^2' ); subplot(1, 3, 2); timeSOL_L = stepStart:(1 / data.muscle.frameRate):stepEnd; plot(timeSOL_L, 1e3 * data.muscle.activities.filtered(indexSOL_L, startIndexSOL_L:endIndexSOL_L)); xlabel( 'Time in s' ); ylabel( 'Activity of the left soleus muscle in mV' ); subplot(1, 3, 3); timeGRFY_L = stepStart:(1 / data.force.frameRate):stepEnd; plot(timeGRFY_L, data.force.grfY_L(startIndexGRFY_L:endIndexGRFY_L)); xlabel( 'Time in s' ); ylabel( 'Left ground reaction force in N' );
