Stronger conclusion #76

I really like the "strength" of the introduction and the conclusion doesn't current have the same feel. I think we need to beef it up some and reiterate the "innovations" that our paper introduces (all the things mentioned in the intro).

I think it was just a bit too long and repetitive. It gets stronger by removing the weaker parts. Here's my attempt:

We have presented a rich and elaborate data set of motion and ground reaction loads from human subjects during both normal walking and when recovering from longitudinal perturbations. The raw data is provided for reuse with complete meta data. In addition to the data, we provide software that can process the data for both cleaning purposes and to produce typical sagittal plane gait variables of interest. Among other uses, we believe the dataset is ideally suited for control identification purposes. Many researchers are working on mathematical models for control in gait and this dataset provides both a way to validate these models and a source for generating them.
