MOBILITY LIMITATION

This pilot study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical current applied to the brain can improve how people with tunnel vision (from retinitis pigmentosa, rod-cone dystrophy, or advanced glaucoma) navigate obstacles. Twenty adults will receive both real and sham stimulat…

This study tests whether placing art posters with QR codes in hospital hallways can encourage patients to get up and move more after chest or belly surgery. About 204 patients will wear activity trackers for five days after surgery, and some will experience the art program while …

This study tests whether a powered leg exoskeleton can improve walking speed and ease for older adults aged 65 to 75. Forty participants will walk with and without the device to see if it helps them move faster and more comfortably. The goal is to find new ways to support mobilit…

This study tests whether combining a special walking exercise with mild electrical brain stimulation can improve thinking and walking in adults aged 65 and older who have memory or mobility problems. Participants will do walking tasks while receiving either real or fake brain sti…

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 tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the brain, guided by a caregiver at home, can improve memory, thinking, and walking in older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia. 144 participants will receive either real or sham stimulation over …

This study tests a six-week exercise program for older adults (ages 65-90) who recently finished home health care and have trouble moving or thinking. Participants will do task-oriented resistance exercises at home with some remote coaching. The goal is to see if the program is p…

This study looks at whether having a mobility technician help older patients (65+) walk up to three times a day during their hospital stay can improve their strength and recovery. Researchers will compare these patients to those receiving usual care. The goal is to see if this si…

This study looks at whether a special mobility program, designed with input from patients and doctors, can help older adults move more after hip fracture surgery. About 25 participants will try the program during their hospital stay. Researchers will check if the program is pract…

This study looks at whether the pattern of contrast on stair edges helps older adults, including those with low vision, step more safely. Participants walk on lab stairs with different contrast markings while their foot clearance is measured. The goal is to understand how contras…

This study looks at whether a 3-month virtual program called Choose to Move Replacement Ready is feasible for people waiting for hip or knee replacement surgery due to osteoarthritis. About 60 participants will answer surveys and some will be interviewed. The goal is to see if th…

This study looks at how well pelvic organs move in women with endometriosis using dynamic MRI. Researchers want to see if measuring this movement can help diagnose the disease better and explain why some treatments don't work. About 52 women with suspected endometriosis will take…
