On May 2, 2005, the Clinical Movement Analysis (CMA) Laboratory located in the Mark O. Hatfield Clinical Research Center of the National Institutes of Health officially opened, providing state-of-the-art facilities for capturing human movement data used in research on a wide variety of movement disorders and diseases. The main floor of the CMA Laboratory is a one-of-a-kind, 1-million pound, 30-foot by 30-foot block of poured vibration-dampened concrete on its own foundation and quite literally separated from the surrounding building by a covered 3-inch air gap. This space was renovated in early 2010 to add more research capabilities and create a more patient-friendly environment.
