About this trial

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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age: 3-25 years of age (with 3 and 25 year olds considered for inclusion).

Ambulate independently and without the use of assistive devices or orthoses.

Willing and interested in participating.

Disqualifiers

Neuromuscular disorders such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, peripheral neuropathy, or other generalized muscle and/or nerve issues.

Evidence of developmental delays, muscle weakness, decreased muscle tone, joint stiffness, muscle or bone deformity.

Currently using or has a history of using assistive technology devices, bracing/orthoses, manual or powered mobility equipment.

History of premature birth.

Trial population

Subjects will be recruited from the regional community, including convenience sample of children. Subjects will be recruited by word of mouth, posted flyers, and advertised through the RML website and MB social media.

  • Observation

    Other intervention

    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.

Observation-based movement analyses

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.
