Data format: ------------ Each line contains 19 columns: Column 1: Time (in seconds) Columns 2-9: Vertical ground reaction force (VGRF, in Newton) on each of 8 sensors located under the left foot Columns 10-17: VGRF on each of the 8 sensors located under the right foot Column 18: Total force under the left foot Column 19: Total force under the right foot. When a person is comfortably standing with both legs parallel to each other, sensor locations inside the insole can be described (according to the Infotronic website; http://www.infotronic.nl/) as lying approximately at the following (X,Y) coordinates, assuming that the origin (0,0) is just between the legs and the person is facing towards the positive side of the Y axis: Sensor X Y ---------------------------- L1 -500 -800 L2 -700 -400 L3 -300 -400 L4 -700 0 L5 -300 0 L6 -700 400 L7 -300 400 L8 -500 800 R1 500 -800 R2 700 -400 R3 300 -400 R4 700 0 R5 300 0 R6 700 400 R7 300 400 R8 500 800 The X and Y numbers are in an arbitrary coordinate system reflecting the relative (arbitrarily scaled) positions of the sensors within each insole. During walking, the sensors inside each insole remain at the same relative position, but the two feet are no longer parallel to each other. Thus, this coordinate system enables a calculation of a proxy for the location of the center of pressure (COP) under each foot. Data file names: ---------------- These follow a common convention, e.g., GaCo01_02.txt or JuPt03_06.txt, where Ga, Ju or Si – indicate the study from which the data originated: Ga - Galit Yogev et al (dual tasking in PD; Eur J Neuro, 2005) Ju – Hausdorff et al (RAS in PD; Eur J Neuro, 2007) Si - Silvi Frenkel-Toledo et al (Treadmill walking in PD; Mov Disorders, 2005) Co or Pt: Control subject or a PD Patient 01: Subject number in the group A walk number of 10 (for the "Ga" study) indicates a dual-task walking, where the subject was engaged in serial-7 subtraction while walking. A walk number of 01 refers to a usual, normal walk. .txt: file name extension The sampling rate was 100 Hz.
