Scholarly research in the field of physical rehabilitation helps to aid in maximizing outcomes for individuals that require these services due to orthopedic and neurologic injuries. To produce quality research results, large cohorts of individuals are often required for data analysis. Some research facilities or labs do not have adequate access to large cohorts or may not have the means to recruit them. By building the C-STAR database, the intent is to create a database that can serve as a hub for data sets that researchers and clinicians with appropriate access may use to support their research questions related to movement and physical rehabilitation.
The purpose of this study is to develop a database that contains movement and rehabilitation-related data collected through the use of wearable sensors and video. This database will serve as a resource for clinicians and researchers interested in the investigation of movement or rehabilitation-related research ideas.
