This data belongs to a manuscript submitted to Data in Brief, in which the content and lay-out of this data is described in detail. Data overviews (including figures and tables for age and gender groups) can be found at OSF | Normative 3D gait data of healthy subjects walking at three different speeds on an instrumented treadmill in virtual reality.

A normative gait dataset of 246 healthy adults (122 men / 124 women, range in age 18-91 years, body weight 46.80-116.10 kg, height 1.53-1.97 m and BMI 18.25-35.63 kg/m²) is presented and publicly shared for three walking speed conditions (comfortable, slow and fast speed).

Three dimensional gait analysis was performed at the Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN) at the Maastricht University Medical Centre (MUMC+). Subjects walked on the instrumented treadmill surrounded with twelve 3D cameras, three 2D cameras and a virtual environment projected on a 180° screen using the Human Body Lower Limb Model with trunk markers (HBM-II) as biomechanical model.

Subjects walked at comfortable walking speed, 30% slower and 30% faster. These walking speed conditions were applied in a random sequence. Comfortable walking speed was determined using a RAMP protocol: subjects started to walk at 0.5 m/s and every second the speed was increased wit 0.01 m/s until comfortable speed was reached. The average of three repetitions was considered the comfortable speed. For each walking speed condition, 250 steps were recorded.

The 3D gait data was collected using the D-flow CAREN software. Raw data were processed in Matlab (Mathworks 2016), including quality check, step determination and the exportation of data to xls. Processed data includes spatiotemporal parameters, medio-lateral (ML) and back-forward (BF) margins of stability (MoS), 3D joint angles, anterior-posterior (AP) and vertical GRFs, 3D joint moments and 3D joint power of both legs.

The attached files include the processed data for each adult for walking at slow (comfortable -30%) speed containing spatiotemporal parameters, MoS, joint angles, GRF, joint moments, joint power including every valid step of both legs.
