Pediatric Normative Movement Analysis Data Collection

MultiCare Health System Research Institute50 enrolled

Overview

The objective of this project is to collect baseline data from a normative population of children that gender and age matches the population of patients expected to be treated by Mary Bridge Children's Therapy Services and seen in the Research and Movement Laboratory. This project seeks to recruit 25 male and 25 female typically developing children between the ages of 3 and 18 years of age. Non-invasive measurements of movement patterns will be collected during common activities of daily living over a single data collection session.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Create normative baseline data for typically developing children

Establishing a baseline of pediatric biomechanics is an important step in performing the best possible analyses for our patients. Normative data provides that baseline, and provides the data to explore links within the dense, interconnected behavior of human motion.
