This study looks at whether a simple foam-rolling routine before practice can help prevent injuries and improve performance in young male soccer players aged 14 to 18. About 65 players will be split into two groups: one that does the foam rolling and one that doesn't. Researchers…

This study compares two types of video game-based exercise (Xbox Kinect vs. Wii Fit) to see which better improves balance and reduces fall risk in healthy older adults aged 55 and older. Over 6 weeks, 46 participants will play the games three times a week. Researchers will measur…

This study looks at whether adding kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape) to exercise can help improve posture, balance, pain, and quality of life in young adults aged 18-45 with a curved upper back (thoracic hyperkyphosis). 48 participants will be measured over two months. The g…

This study tests whether a special video-based game can help adults aged 60 and older improve their balance, thinking skills, and confidence. Participants will play the game twice a week for 6 weeks, while a comparison group does nothing new. The goal is to see if this fun, low-c…

This study compares two walking training methods for people who have had a stroke: one uses a body-weight support system with forward and backward walking, and the other uses virtual reality games during walking. The goal is to see which method better improves walking speed, bala…

This study tests a 3-month exercise program for people with mild memory loss due to Alzheimer's. Participants will do exercises that combine physical and mental tasks twice a week. Researchers will check if it improves walking, balance, and thinking compared to standard exercise …

This study tests whether a child-friendly core exercise program, called Fun-Core, can improve balance and daily movement in children aged 6 to 12 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Half of the 54 participants will do the Fun-Core exercises at home three times a week for 8 weeks, whi…

This study looks at how adding a mental task (like counting backwards) affects walking and balance in older adults with Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome (MCRS). About 35 people aged 65 and older will perform walking tests with and without a cognitive challenge. The goal is to bett…

This study looks at how body weight influences physical activity, balance, and quality of life in 50 adults with type 2 diabetes. Participants will undergo tests like walking, strength measurements, and balance assessments. The goal is to better understand these connections to im…

This study looks at whether the Figure-of-8 Walk Test is a reliable tool for measuring balance and walking in older adults with motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCRS), a condition that combines memory complaints with slow walking. Researchers will test 52 volunteers aged 65 and o…

This study is testing a new ankle brace with built-in motion sensors to see if it can accurately measure how people walk, run, jump, and balance. Researchers will compare the brace's readings to high-tech lab equipment. The study involves 60 healthy adults, some wearing sneakers …

This study looks at whether a simple backward walking test can reliably measure balance and fall risk in healthy adults aged 65 and older. Researchers will test 87 volunteers twice over two days to see if the results are consistent. The goal is to find a better way to identify se…

This study looks at whether doing core stabilization exercises just once can help competitive archers with their balance and shooting performance. Thirty licensed archers will be tested before and after a single exercise session. The goal is to see if these exercises can be used …

This study tests whether wearing goggles that briefly block vision during balance training can help people improve their balance more effectively. Healthy adults aged 18-30 or 65-89 will practice walking on a narrow beam while wearing special goggles. Researchers will measure bal…
