Brief summary
The objective of this project is to collect baseline data from a normative population of 20 children that gender and age matches the population of patients expected to be treated by Mary Bridge Children's Research & Movement Lab.
Detailed description
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 Research & Movement Lab. This project seeks to recruit 20 male and 20 female typically developing individuals, between the ages of 3 and 25 years of age. Non-invasive measurements of movement patterns (motion analysis and force plate data) will be collected during bipedal gait.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Observation-based movement analyses | Baseline | The purpose of this normative data collection study is to collect baseline data from a normative population of children/adolescents using force plates and 3D markerless motion capture. Together these are used to calculate a normative range of body position and joint angles (kinematics), as well as joint loads and ground reaction forces (kinetics) during prescribed activities. |
