Study Details
Improving Human Movement with Wearable Devices
(IRB#: IRB_00186623)
This study will learn how to design wearable devices and mobile sensors to measure human movement in the real world. This will help improve movement for people with conditions like stroke, osteoarthritis, and neuromuscular diseases such as Muscular Dystrophy (MS). People in the study will perform activities of daily living such as walking, walking on a treadmill, reaching, and squatting. The study will collect information about performing the activities with specific methods such as video recording or wearable devices. Being in the study requires completing up to 5 visits at the study clinic with each visit lasting 1 to 4 hours.
