Pediatric sports medicine: an evolution of applications of motion analysis

The field of pediatric sports medicine has grown dramatically with the widespread participation of children in physical fitness and club sports activities in the United States. The use of three-dimensional (3-D) automated motion analysis in pediatric sports has become a focus of increased interest and research potential. This work addresses an overview of the activities and frequent injury patterns seen in the pediatric sports population. The objective of the article is to identify common pediatric sports activities that have the potential for study with motion analysis techniques.
