I have a dataset that consist of a structure in a structure, etc...,
example: data (1x1 struct) with 5 fields (body parts), consists of: - head(1x1 struct), torso(1x1 struct),arm(1x1 struct), leg(1x1 struct), feet(1x1 struct). each struct consists again of 4 fields(types of bones) and these fields consist of 12 fields (measurements),these 12 fields are the same for all bones and body parts.
I want to be able to do a calculation on a specific measurement field of each bone of each body part. How do I do this? So I want to make a loop that goes for example to head.1bone.angle and does the calculation (mean) there and then go to head.2bone.angle, etc.. then to torso.1bones.angle etc... Is this possible to do this?

Use fieldnames and dynamic fields. e.g:
for field = fieldnames(data)'
for subfield = fieldnames(data.(field{1}))'
result = mean(data.(field{1}).(subfield{1}).angle)
end
end

If suppose I wanted to combine each element at each sub-level of the nested structure into one string, how do I run the loop to output such a string? Any hint or help is welcome. Thanks!

Simply split the string at the delimiter and then call getfield / setfield directly.

Use structfun function

Or using structfun, if you want the result as a structure:
structfun(@(part) structfun(@(bone) mean(bone.angle), part, 'UniformOuput', false), data, 'UniformOutput', false)
You can do away with the first UniformOutput but not the second.
