Get data DOI Cite

Physical therapy exercise recordings from 5 subjects performing 8 exercises, each in three execution types: correct, too fast and with low amplitude. Five Xsens MTx units recorded accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer data at 25 Hz. The training split holds exercise templates and the test split simulated therapy sessions (Yurtman and Barshan, Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 2014); it is hosted by the UCI Machine Learning Repository.

Original description

This dataset contains wearable inertial and magnetic sensor data during the execution of physical therapy exercises. There are eight types of physical therapy exercises, each of which has three execution types (correct, fast, and low-amplitude). Each execution type of each type of exercise was performed multiple times by five subjects. The subjects wore five MTx sensor units manufactured by XSens. Each unit contains three tri-axial sensors: an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a magnetometer, sampled at 25 Hz.

Additional information can be found in the Description.pdf file and in the papers listed in the Citation Request field.
