Functional Assessment Protocol for the Upper Limb for Pediatric Age
Sponsor: IRCCS Eugenio Medea
Summary
During data acquisition a trained therapist placed reflective markers on the skin of the participants in the selected body landmarks. The participants will be asked to perform five trial for each upper limb of a determinate functional task for each session.

Interventions
Upper limb Kinematic Assessment with Optoelectronic system
All measurements will be obtained using an optoelectronic multicamera system for human motion analysis (with eight high-resolution cameras with infrared light and a sampling frequency of 60 Hz. The experimental protocol require the positioning of markers (plastic spheres covered by reflecting film, 10 mm in diameter). Markers will be placed by clinical operators (physiotherapists with training in optoelectronic system for human motion analysis) after training and experience in recognition of the position of body landmarks. During the data acquisition protocol, the subject perform five trial for each upper limb of a determinate functional task for each session. Every subject repeat this operations 2 times with 2 different operators.
