Biomechanical Data from 44 Adults with and Without Forward Head Posture

Synchronized 3D motion-capture and force-plate recordings from 44 adults (25 females, 19 males) during postural-control tasks. The dataset includes raw and processed biomechanical files, such as marker trajectories and joint moments, collected by Guohao Lin. Data were last updated on 2026-05-26.

Use Cases

• Classifying postural control strategies based on center-of-pressure and center-of-mass data.
• Training models to detect forward head posture from marker trajectories and joint angles.
• Analyzing stability limits under habitual versus induced head-position conditions.
• Studying gender differences in postural control using anthropometric and kinetic variables.

Strengths

• Data from 44 participants with a specified gender breakdown (25 females, 19 males).
• Includes synchronized multimodal recordings (motion capture and force plates).
• Covers three distinct postural-control tasks under different head-position conditions.
• Provides both raw (.c3d) and processed (.mat) data formats for flexibility.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset size is listed as 0.0 B, indicating a very limited scope or potential metadata issue.
