What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study

Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this database could help doctors better diagnose and treat movement disorders by comparing patient movements to a standard reference.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly benefit participants and may take years to yield practical tools.
