Shirley Ryan AbilityLab received a $161,754 Project Grant awarded May 1, 2026, under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) from the National Institutes of Health Office of the Director. The award supports a three-year initiative (through April 30, 2029) to disseminate a scalable, open-source markerless motion capture (MMC) framework for biomechanical analysis and human pose estimation. The project will apply software engineering best practices to transform the organization's existing video acquisition and biomechanical analysis software into a robust, accessible open-source product capable of broad adoption across research institutions. The primary deliverables include refactoring and optimization of the MMC software platform to eliminate implementation barriers currently requiring on-site engineering support, and developing comprehensive data de-identification protocols to enable secure sharing of datasets and metadata while protecting subject privacy. These outputs will address critical gaps in commercially available motion analysis systems by providing researchers and clinicians with customizable tools for whole-body tracking including arm and hand movements. By removing technical and logistical barriers to access, the project aims to expand utilization of markerless motion capture technology across multiple NIH-funded research laboratories and clinical environments.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
