This study tests whether a 6-week gait retraining program using real-time feedback can improve walking patterns and reduce early signs of knee osteoarthritis in people who have had ACL reconstruction. Seventy participants will be randomly assigned to receive either real-time biof…

This study tests whether a fully implanted nerve stimulator can help people with incomplete spinal cord injury walk farther and more independently. Five participants will first be screened, then receive the implant and use it for up to two years. The device is turned on and off t…

This study looks at whether walking on a treadmill can improve how stroke survivors move. Many people who have had a stroke walk unevenly and have different skin temperatures on their affected side. The researchers will measure changes in walking speed, endurance, and body heat p…

This study tests whether adding mild electrical stimulation to leg muscles or the spinal cord during balance exercises can improve mobility and reduce falls in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Up to 24 participants will be randomly assigned to balance training alone, with fun…

This study looks at whether the Figure-of-8 Walk Test is a valid and reliable way to measure walking and balance in older adults with motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCRS). MCRS combines slow walking speed with memory complaints and may signal future dementia. Researchers will t…

This study looks at how the shape of your foot arch relates to the way you walk and your thinking skills in older adults. Researchers will measure foot structure, walking speed and steps, and reaction time in 50 people aged 65 and older. The goal is to better understand these con…

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 participants aged 65+ will do walking tests alone and while thinking. The goal is to better understand early si…

This study looks at how children aged 7 to 17 with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) walk while also doing a thinking task or a moving task. Researchers will compare their walking patterns to those of typically developing children. The goal is to gather detailed movement …

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 standard lab equipment. The goal is to see if the brace is reliable enough for future…
