Comments

This submission is original research, and is a work in progress. We will be presenting our current data, and the rationale for this project. From a clinical standpoint, far too much of the clinical exam is predicated on non-validated and hence uncertain normal. The data collected here will be standardized by age ranges, thus increasing its value to clinicians. The current study has been running for the past 8 months, but in order to have a robust data set more subjects will need to be recruited.
