Pediatric Normative Markerless Movement Analysis

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.
