Wearable Sensor and Video Platform to Monitor Motor Development in Infants
The goal of this project is to develop an automated, precise, quantitative biobehavioral assay for detecting infants at risk, and then rigorously test an early-life intervention to promote typical motor movement and sensory development in those infants in a manner designed for uptake and dissemination.

CLOSER LOOK: Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day
On National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day, here's a closer look at what this condition means for people all over the world.
Patient Story
Stiff Knee Gait and Rectus Transfer
The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship of the hip power in 3D Gait Analysis to select a set of preoperative gait features that distinguished between good (i.e., no longer stiff) and poor (i.e., remaining stiff) postoperative outcomes after rectus transfer surgery in children with Cerebral Palsy.
Research Project
Efficacy of the Calcaneal-Cuboid-Cuneiform Osteotomy Procedure
The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the 3C procedure by using foot pressure distribution parameters to compare changes in pre- and post-operative COF trajectory and PP in the surgical region.

COMPLETE: Robot Based Gait Training Therapy for Children with Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of permanent physical disability in childhood, causing problems in the development of movement and posture, often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, communication, and behavior. CP, which occurs as a result of brain injury before, during, or shortly after birth, affects 3-4 out of every 1000 school-aged children in the US.
