Bounds of Human Performance from Able-Bodied Adults and Children

The goal of this work is to develop a database of human movement to study a broad range of topics related to sports performance, injury prevention, neuromuscular biomechanics, physical rehabilitation, assistive devices, ergonomics, and human interaction with the built environment. Such a database will aid in basic understanding of human movement and provide a normative reference for evaluating different adult and pediatric musculoskeletal disorders and their manifestations through altered movement parameters. This database will serve as a baseline to evaluate the effects of different clinical interventions targeting adult and pediatric musculoskeletal disorders. We are currently recruiting able-bodied adults (18 to 80 years) and typically developing children (4 to 17 years) for this study.
