Participation Opportunities
Here are the current opportunities to participate in research.
Influence of Body Position on Infant Breathing
We are currently recruiting healthy babies 1 to 2 months old, born after 37 weeks to participate in a research study. The study consists of three, 2-hour visits to the BABI Lab, with approximately two months between visits. Each visit will consist of non-invasive biomechanical testing. Researchers will observe your baby breathing at slightly different inclines, similar to common infant products. We are offering a $100 gift card per visit ($300 total) as a thank you for participating.
If you are interested in participating, please visit our survey link below to see if you qualify.

If you would like additional information, or you are currently pregnant or “expecting” you may also email us at BabiLab@BoiseState.edu.
Infant Hip Biomechanics
We are looking for babies 1 to 7 months old both with and without developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) to participate in a research study. The 90 minute, non-invasive study will include monitoring the motion and muscle activity of your baby in varies positions, while wearing a pavlik harness, a device commonly used to treat DDH. You will be with your baby during the entire session. We are offering a $100 gift card as a thank you for participating. If you are interested in participating, please email us at BabiLab@BoiseState.edu.
