Motion Analysis and Human Performance Laboratory

Serving more than 600 patients annually, we are part of Texas Children's Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Center, a nationally recognized program for children and adolescents with conditions ranging from complex neurological and orthopedic disorders to sports injuries.

 Our team brings together orthopedic surgeons, physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, sports medicine physicians, physical therapists, and movement scientists to study how children and young people move and what that tells us about their health, function, and performance.

Clinical Gait Analysis- We provide in-depth movement evaluations to help care teams understand the factors affecting how a child walks and moves. This includes pre-surgical planning and treatment decision-making for patients with conditions such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, brain and spinal cord injuries, and neuromuscular disorders.

Human Performance- Our Human Performance team works with pediatric and adolescent athletes to assess movement, guide rehabilitation, and support recovery from sports-related injuries. Areas of focus include running and lower extremity conditions, pitching mechanics, ACL rehabilitation, and concussion.

We turn movement data into answers, helping care teams make data-informed decisions and giving families a clearer path forward.
