Collecting movement data from healthy children

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This project aims to gather baseline movement data from a normative population of children aged 3 to 25 years, matching the demographics of pediatric patients expected to be treated at the Mary Bridge Children's Research & Movement Lab. The study will recruit 20 male and 20 female typically developing individuals and will utilize non-invasive motion analysis and force plate data to assess their bipedal gait patterns. The collected data will serve as a reference for understanding movement in children with pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
