Measurement of Motion in Healthy Humans
Summary
This study will measure the motion of 25 healthy participants in front of 8 cameras in a room. The participant will be asked to perform 40 different motions, such as "please lift your right arm in the air". A brief video showing a person performing these motions will help the participant understand exactly what to do. The participant will not have to wear any clothes or devices before, during or after the session which lasts 60 minutes."
The participant will receive a brief 5-minute orientation before the 30-minute motion session. The participant will be asked to sign up for 3 sessions over 4 months.
Only one subject will be examined at a time. There will not be any other participants near the test area.
