Motion capture, surface EMG and OpenSim simulation data from 11 male participants lifting a 5.5 kg weight symmetrically and asymmetrically with and without the BBEX active bilateral back extensor exosuit (Science Robotics, 2024). The 2.5 GB Dryad deposit (CC0) includes marker trajectories, musculoskeletal models, external-load files, lumbar joint loading results and the R statistics code.
