Summary

This study aims to collect movement data from up to 7,500 people, including healthy volunteers and those with movement disorders. Participants perform tasks like walking or reaching while cameras track reflective markers on their body. The goal is to build a reference database that can improve how doctors diagnose and treat movement problems.
