Motion Analysis Support

Health Professions & Sciences (College of) / Rehabilitation Sciences & Technology (School of)

Description

This study is being conducted in conjunction with a team at MCW working on developing a dynamic MR imaging methodology. We conduct gold-standard motion analysis testing to validate the MR imaging data. This involves placing reflective markers on the participant's hands, arms, and upper body, collecting motion capture data while participants conduct specific movements, and collecting measurements of a few segments of the participants arms and hands. Once the data are collected, they must be processed and analyzed before sending results to the MCW team to compare to their data.

Tasks and Responsibilities

The student will be responsible for aiding in data collection (setting up the room, preparing markers, taking pictures during collection), as well as some of the processing steps after data has been collected. This includes labeling and gap filling the marker trajectories and entering measurement data into summary sheets. They will also be responsible for communicating clearly with other team members and setting and meeting deadlines.
