Methods for the automatic quantification of instrumented biomarkers for the longitudinal assessment of motor control development from birth

The overall goal is to develop a technology-based approach to monitor the development of motor control, based on video analysis and/or inertial sensors, in children from birth. This includes a series of objectives:- Identify a set of quantitative parameters that serve as biomarkers of motor control at different stages of motor development from birth (i.e., general movements, sitting, crawling, walking, fine motor skills);- Associate the set of biomarkers with relevant characteristics of motor control (i.e., complexity, automaticity, regularity, stability) to enable the analysis of motor development and guide potential interventions;- Identify reference ranges for the set of biomarkers for typically developing children from birth to adulthood.
