The purpose of this study is to assess deficits in movement and coordination in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and without.

We are recruiting subjects 4+ years old to participate in seated upper extremity activities with a social robot! We are interested in subjects who have a range of upper extremity functional levels. Participants may be evaluated using various clinical measures, a series of surveys, and will be asked to interact with a remote-controlled robot and the remote operator doing various activities. Participants and their surrounding area will be recorded using video cameras.
 

The purpose of this study is to find out how the brain learns to move in infants with and without brain injury.

The Automated Assessment of Neurodevelopment in Infants at Risk for Motor Disability — PANDA Mobile App Data Collection study’s goal is to develop an affordable noninvasive easy-to-use tool for early detection of infant neurodevelopmental disabilities so they can receive treatment at an early age.

Children between the ages of 4 and 16 years old, both with and without cerebral palsy, may be eligible for the study to help researchers learn if there is a difference in sensory processes.
