Crank Turning Data

This folder contains measurements during the task of planar crank turning. This data was collected as part of Joseph Doeringer's PhD thesis[Link]. This data set contains measurements of crank positions, crank velocities, forces, moments, and EMG. Further documentation is included in the ReadMe.txt file. The methods sections of the cited papers explicitly detail the experimental protocol. 

This data set was presented in the following journal papers:

James Hermus, Joseph Doeringer, Dagmar Sternad, and Neville Hogan, "Separating neural influences from peripheral mechanics: the speed-curvature relation in mechanically constrained actions" Journal of Neurophysiology 2020 123:5, 1870-1885 [Link]

James R Hermus, Joseph Doeringer, Dagmar Sternad, and Neville Hogan, "Dynamic Primitives in Constrained Action: Systematic Changes in the Zero-Force Trajectory" Currently accepted to the Journal of Neurophysiology [Link]

The code used for analysis in the paper "Dynamic Primitives in Constrained Action" is also archived on Zenodo [Link] and available on Github [Link].

This data set was also presented in a conference paper:

J. Hermus, D. Sternad and N. Hogan, "Evidence for Dynamic Primitives in a Constrained Motion Task," 2020 8th IEEE RAS/EMBS International Conference for Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (BioRob), New York, NY, USA, 2020, pp. 551-556. [Link]
