Descending 13 real world steps: A dataset and analysis of stair descent.

Background: Stair descent analysis has been typically limited to laboratory staircases of 4 or 5 steps. To date there has been no report of gait parameters during unconstrained stair descent outside of the laboratory, and few motion capture datasets are publicly available.

Research Question: We aim to collect a dataset and perform gait analysis for stair descent outside of the laboratory.
