Motion Capture and Analysis of NYIT Athletes
Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Athletic Injuries
In brief
The purpose of this research is to: 1. determine the normal or existing dynamic biomechanics of college athletes and 2. test the effectiveness of osteopathic manipulative medicine in the treatment of athletic injuries. Motion capture using Vicon systems allows researchers to quantify characteristics of a body such as the range of motion of the hip or shoulder during an athletic technique such as kicking or shooting a basketball into the basket. The quantified information has been used before to better understand human mobility and performance. Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) is manual medicine applied to joints, muscles, and connective tissue with a goal of improved body functions. Research demonstrating effectiveness of OMM on the musculoskeletal and associated connective tissue systems health includes, among others, prospective clinical trials of OMM for treatment of neck pain, low back pain, and acute first- and second-degree ankle sprains.
