Abstract Assistive devices are a promising tool for enhancing or restoring human walking. Weight is an important consideration when designing these devices, yet datasets for weighted human walking are scarce. We measured 13 healthy, young participants walking at their own pace in two conditions: normal, flat ground walking, and walking with bilateral weights attached to the shank. The weights were applied symmetrically and ranged from 1 kg to 5 kg in steps of 1 kg. Each task was repeated ten times.
