Tripedal Locomotion Force Data for Canine Amputees

Force plate data from a study on tripedal locomotion in canine amputees. The dataset, created by Zoe T. Self Davies, was last updated in April 2026. It is provided as supplementary material for research on biomechanical adaptations.

Use Cases

• Analyze ground reaction force patterns across limbs to compare tripedal and quadrupedal gaits.
• Model the relationship between force plate metrics (e.g., peak vertical force) and specific amputated limbs.
• Train classifiers to identify gait phases or stability metrics from time-series force data for tripedal locomotion.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a peer-reviewed scientific publication on a specific biomechanical phenomenon.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse and modification.
• Last updated in April 2026, indicating recent availability.

Limitations

• Sample size and number of canine subjects are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Specific column names, data types, and the total number of observations are not provided in the input.
