Shriners Children’s created the largest pediatric motion analysis center in the world by integrating all 14 of our labs. This will help our doctors share data, inform care decisions, and drive cutting-edge research.
Motion analysis is a technology that uses data to help analyze how a child walks and moves. Shriners Children’s uses high-speed cameras, reflective markers, force platforms and muscle sensors to record a child’s movement patterns. The data is then analyzed using computer-generated imagery similar to what you might see in a video game, to model the child’s gait and allow doctors to compare it to a patient without a gait difference. The technology allows doctors to pinpoint exactly where the problem is and more accurately determine the best course of treatment.
