Thorax-Pelvis Coordination During Gait

Abstract

Gait kinematics and kinetics of fifteen healthy subjects and fifteen subjects with chronic low back pain. Supplementary data of the journal article (Open Access): "Axial Thorax-Pelvis Coordination During Gait is not Predictive of Apparent Trunk Stiffness" In Nature Scientific Reports DOI:10.1038/s41598-018-37549-9 By Maarten R. Prins, Sjoerd M. Bruijn, Onno G. Meijer, Peter van der Wurff and Jaap H. van Dieën The methods of data collection are described in the journal article. The .mat file ("ExperimentalData") and .csv file contain identical information.
