ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how our joints and muscles move and function in healthy individuals. Researchers are using a special tool called Showmotion to gather information about the movement of the shoulder, hip, knee, and spine from 60 healthy volunteers. This study aims to create a baseline understanding of how these body parts work, which can help doctors better identify issues related to conditions like osteoarthritis in the future.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 65, without any existing joint problems. They must also be able to follow instructions during the study. Those who are significantly overweight, pregnant, or have had recent surgery on the joints being studied will not be able to participate. If you join, you can expect to undergo some simple assessments to help researchers gather important data about body movement. This information will be valuable for understanding joint health and could lead to better treatments for joint-related issues in the future.
