Reach Normal Controls

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to obtain normative values and repeatability measures during functional reaching tasks in able-bodied individuals with no functional limitations. The data collected may be used in the future as baseline reference and repeatability values of outcome measures against which to compare values from individuals with functional limitations to quantify their functional ability.
