We require extensive, curated collections of medical data specifically tailored for developing and validating in silico trial technologies. To address this need, the In Silico World project is dedicated to gathering, curating, and publishing various data sets designed to validate in silico trial solutions. Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna, in collaboration with IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli, has contributed to this effort with the DPValid collection.
The DPValid dataset is composed of (anonymized) raw and processed data, including surface electromyography (sEMG) and dynamometry data collected on 20 healthy adults (HA) during a maximum voluntary isometric contraction test (MVIC), 10 females and 10 males.
For each subject, the following data will be made available:
- Dynamometry data – i.e., raw and filtered torques profiles were acquired while the subjects performed maximal voluntary isometric contractions, both in extension (n = 3) and flexion (n = 3) with the knee flexed at 75° and 90°. In addition, the maximum torques values are also provided.
- Electromyography data – i.e., raw and filtered EMG data (including the normalised linear envelopes of the signals) recorded from 8 muscles (dominant and tested leg: biceps femoris, semitendinosus, rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and lateral gastrocnemius; contralateral leg: vastus lateralis and biceps femoris) while the subjects performed the MVIC test.
- Muscle volume reconstructions – 3D segmentations of the major muscles of the thighs (n = 13 per side). The list includes the flexor and extensor muscles of hip and knee joints. More specifically: biceps femoris caput breve, biceps femoris caput longum, gracilis, iliacus, psoas, rectus femoris, sartorius, semimembranosus, semitendinosus, tensor fasciae latae, vastus intermedius, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis.
