A Rigid Body Database On Human Movement

这项研究的主要目标保持不变：将身体障碍者的能力与他或她执行日常生活活动的能力联系起来。许多方法也保持不变，其核心是3D运动分析。然而，对损伤的评估已经扩大到包括对肌肉力量、痉挛和肌肉大小的评估。还增加了余额评估。要检查的任务也扩大到包括使用运动设备和临床干预措施，如作为功能矫形器的电模拟，以改善步态功能。我们还降低了出生年龄，以便研究婴儿的肌肉和运动能力。在一些干预措施中，收集了健康志愿者和目标患者群体的数据。 我们收集了不同患者组以及健康志愿者的步态数据，特别是脑瘫、臂丛麻痹和成人肌张力障碍患者的步态数据。今年发表了一篇关于臂丛神经麻痹患者与年龄匹配的对照组的肌肉力量对比的论文，我们正在研究另一篇关于跨组功能运动时手臂运动学差异的论文。

The primary objective of this study remains the same: to link the capabilities of people with physical impairments to his or her ability to perform activities of daily living. Many of the methodologies remain the same as well, the core of which is 3D movement analysis. However, the assessment of impairments has been expanded to include assessments of muscle strength, spasticity and muscle size. Balance assessment has also been added. The tasks to be examined have also expanded to include the use of exercise devices and clinical interventions such as electrical simulation as a functional orthoses to improve gait function. We have also reduced the age to birth to allow us to study infant muscles and motor abilities. Data are collected on both healthy volunteers and the target patient groups for some of the interventions. We have collected gait data on different patient groups as well as healthy volunteers, specifically those with cerebral palsy, brachial plexus palsy and adults with dystonia. One paper on muscle strength in individuals with brachial plexus palsy compared to age matched controls was published this year and we are working on another on arm kinematic differences during functional movements across groups.
