This study tests a fully implanted nerve stimulator to improve walking in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. Five participants will first be screened, then receive the implant and use it for up to two years. The goal is to see if the device helps them walk farther and wit…

This study tests whether adding mild electrical stimulation to balance exercises can improve walking and stability in people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Up to 24 participants will be randomly assigned to balance training alone, training with leg muscle stimulation, or training …

This study looks at whether walking on a treadmill can help people who have had a stroke improve their walking pattern and reduce differences in body temperature between their affected and unaffected sides. Researchers will enroll 24 adults who had a stroke at least six months ag…

This study looks at how the shape of your foot arch relates to the way you walk and your thinking abilities in older adults. Researchers will measure foot structure, walking speed and steps, and reaction time using lights. The goal is to better understand these connections, which…

This study looks at how having flat feet (pes planus) changes the way people walk on flat ground and on slopes. Researchers will measure walking speed, step length, and hip movements in 30 healthy adults aged 18–35 with and without flatfoot. The goal is to better understand these…

This study looks at how doing a second task—like carrying something or thinking—changes the way people with long-term neck pain walk. Researchers will compare 21 adults with neck pain to 21 healthy adults. No treatment is given; the goal is simply to understand how neck pain affe…

This study looks at whether the Figure-of-8 Walk Test is a reliable tool for measuring balance and walking ability in older adults with Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome (MCRS), a condition that raises the risk of dementia. Researchers will test 52 volunteers aged 65 and older who …

This study tests a new ankle brace with built-in motion sensors to see if it can accurately measure how people walk, run, and balance. Sixty healthy adults will wear the brace while doing activities like walking and jumping, and the brace's measurements will be compared to high-t…

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 do simple walking tests with and without a thinking task. The goal is to better u…

This study looks at how different shoe heel heights affect walking in healthy adults aged 18-35. Researchers will measure things like walking speed, step length, and hip movement while participants walk barefoot, in 2 cm heels, and in 6 cm heels. The goal is to understand how hee…

This study looks at how children aged 7 to 17 with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) walk, especially when they have to do another task at the same time, like a thinking game or moving their arms. Researchers will compare their walking patterns to those of typically devel…

This study looks at how different phases of the menstrual cycle affect walking patterns, pelvic movement, and sleep quality in healthy women aged 18 to 35 with regular cycles. Researchers will measure these factors during the early follicular, ovulation, and luteal phases using a…
