Dataset: Medical University of South Carolina Stroke Data (ARRA)

Basic Information
Dataset Full Name Medical University of South Carolina Stroke Data
Dataset Acronym ARRA
Summary

The Medical University of South Carolina Stroke Data (ARRA*) was a NIH funded study conducted in 2011-12. It was designed to delineate the cause/effect relationship between neural output and the biomechanical functions executed in walking. Subjects included 27 post-stroke patients (at least 6 months post-stroke) and 17 healthy controls.


Each subject walked on a treadmill at their self-selected walking speed as well as completing a randomized set of four steady-state mobility capability tasks: walking at maximum speed, and walking at self-selected speed with maximum cadence, maximum step length, and maximum step height. Kinematic, kinetic, and electromyography (EMG) data were collected.  The data collected allow scientists interested in EMG analyses of hemiparetic walking to have a test set for their analyses.


The data collected includes demographics, clinical assessments, kinetic (from treadmill force plates), kinematic (from active markers), EMG and Over-ground spatial temporal measures (GaitRite Platinum Walkway).

Strengths and Limitations
Strengths

Well documented and extensive data collection.

Data includes both post stroke patients and control individuals allowing for comparisons.

The number of subjects and data collected provides researchers interested in EMG analyses of hemiparetic walking with a test set for analyses.
Limitations

From related paper (Routson et.al 2014) 

https://doi.org/10.14814/phy2.12055 :

"Due to our limited recording of EMG from eight muscles, we were only able to identify four modules during healthy control walking... our methods did not include an analysis to determine whether a particular subject's muscle strength was sufficient to perform the mobility capability tasks."
