Although the use of biological signals of neuromuscular origin can provide more natural control of leg prostheses, these signals cannot yet be captured and decoded reliably enough to be used in daily life. Indeed, decoding motor intention from bioelectric signals obtained from the residual limb holds great potential, and therefore, the study of decoding algorithms has increased in the past years, with standardized methods lacking.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In the absence of shared tools to record and process lower limb bioelectric signals, such as electromyography (EMG), we developed an open\u2010source software platform to unify the recording and processing (preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification) of EMG and nonbiological signals amongst researchers with the goal of investigating and benchmarking control algorithms. We validated our locomotion decoding (LocoD) software by comparing the accuracy in the classification of locomotion mode using three different combinations of sensors (1\u2009=\u2009IMU\u2009+\u2009pressure sensor + EMG, 2\u2009=\u2009EMG, 3\u2009=\u2009IMU\u2009+\u2009pressure sensor). EMG and nonbiological signals (from the IMU and pressure sensor) were recorded while able\u2010bodied participants (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200921) walked on different surfaces, such as stairs and ramps, and this data set is also released publicly along with this publication.\n                      <jats:italic>LocoD<\/jats:italic>\n                      was used for all recording, preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification of the recorded signals.
