Adolescent Normative Sport Movement Analysis

Stopped: Low recruitment; I/E requirements did not adequately screen appropriate participants

United States14 participantsStarted 2021-12-21

Plain-language summary

The objective of this study is to collect baseline data from a normative population of adolescents who participate in organized "land-based" sports, that gender and age matches some of the population of patients expected to be treated at Mary Bridge Children's Therapy Services, MultiCare affiliated therapy centers, and Mary Bridge Specialty Clinics who will be seen in the Research and Movement Lab. This project will recruit 40 patients between the ages of 13-25 years old. Non-invasive measurements of movement patterns will be collected during common sport-related activities over a single data collection session.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age between 13-25 years. * Participate in a "land-based" organized sport in the last 1 year with intent on continued participation in the next year. * Perform sport-related activities such as running/sprinting, cutting maneuvers, and jumping. * Tolerate adhesive markers placed on skin and clothing. * Willing and interested in participating. Exclusion Criteria: * Neuromuscular disorders such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, peripheral neuropathy, or other generalized muscle and/or nerve issues. * Currently undergoing treatment or receiving medication that affects movement. * Requires ankle/knee bracing to safely perform running, sprinting, jumping activities. * History of orthopedic surgery to lower limbs. * In last 6 months: receiving/seeking medical treatment for injury. * Difficulty performing sport-related activities. * Pain that has inhibited participation in sports/daily activities in the last 3 months.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Since this study was terminated before completing, is there any published data or findings from it that might still be relevant to my child's lower extremity or musculoskeletal injury assessment?
2This trial was focused on observational movement analysis in adolescents — are there similar, currently active studies or clinical programs at your practice that use movement screening to evaluate my child's injury risk or recovery?
3Because this trial was terminated and is no longer enrolling, what alternative approaches do you currently use to assess movement patterns and musculoskeletal health in adolescent patients?
4Would an observation-based movement analysis, like the kind this study was designed to measure, be something you'd recommend as part of my child's evaluation, and how do you typically access that kind of assessment now?
5Is there anything about why this trial was terminated that I should be aware of when thinking about movement analysis tools and how they might apply to my child's care?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
