Pediatric Normative Markerless Movement Analysis

Recruiting

• Conditions: Adolescent; Pediatric ALL
• Interventions: Other: Observation

• Registration Number: NCT06249880
• Lead Sponsor: MultiCare Health System Research Institute

Brief Summary

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 Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
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.
