Analysis of Human Movement With Assistive Devices
Sponsor: Orthocare Innovations, LLC
Summary
The purpose of this research is to evaluate how people move about in different settings with different assistive devices or components, and to understand how people interact with different assistive technologies. Individuals that have limb weakness, limb paralysis, limb loss, and movement disorders are often provided assistive devices such as prostheses and orthoses to assist with mobility or use assistive technologies for purposes such as to regain muscle strength or retrain movements. It is important to understand the impact of these different assistive technologies on human movement for technology improvement and in preparation for commercialization. Because this research focuses on evaluating how different people move about in different settings with different assistive devices/components, there are different activities that may take place. These activities have been classified as (1) Movement Analysis in the Laboratory, (2) Movement Analysis Outside the Laboratory, (3) Usability Testing, and (4) Focus Groups. Each participant may or may not complete the same activities as the other participants. Each participant may or may not complete all of the activities. Participants may complete the activities more than once.
