A dataset of overground walking full-body kinematics and kinetics in individuals with Parkinson’s disease

The data set comprises raw and processed (both in c3d and csv formats) full-body kinematics and kinetics signals of 26 individuals with Parkinson's disease walking in overground in ON and OFF medication. The data were collected using a three-dimensional (3D) motion-capture system while the subjects walked barefoot. A file of metadata (xls), including anthropometrics and information related to each file in the data set is also provided. In addition, a model file (mdh) and a pipeline file (v3s) for the Visual 3D software program are also provided.  The data collection was performed in the Laboratory of Biomechanics and Motor Control at the Federal University of ABC, Brazil. Standard gait analysis was collected using a motion-capture system that had 12 cameras (Raptor-4; Motion Analysis Corporation, Santa Rosa, CA, USA), five force platforms (three 40 × 60-cm Optima models; AMTI, Watertown, MA, USA; two 40 × 60-cm 9281EA models; Kistler, Winterthur, Switzerland) embedded in the floor.  The marker-set protocol adopted for this study comprised: (a) in the lower limb, 26 anatomical reflective markers (Leardini et al., 2007); and (b) trunk and upper limb, 18 anatomical reflective markers following the recommendations of the International Society of Biomechanics (Wu et al., 2002;Wu et al., 2005); totaling 44 anatomical reflective markers
