The Laboratory for Pediatric Motion Analysis and Biofeedback Rehabilitation provides an evidence-based framework for improving multidisciplinary clinical care for children and adolescents with movement disorders. It achieves this by identifying novel techniques to quantify abnormal movement patterns, with an emphasis on neurological physiology and joint biomechanics. It also integrates an innovative ultrasound-based advanced imaging method, which quantifies abnormal muscle-tendon unit function during motion, as well as bony lever arm and spinal deformities.
