POSTURAL BALANCE

This study tests whether personalized training that combines physical and mental tasks can improve balance and walking in healthy adults aged 65 and older. Participants will do exercises like walking while counting backwards, with difficulty adjusted weekly for some. The goal is …

This study tests whether a gentle movement program called Body Awareness Therapy (BAT) can help young adults (ages 20-30) who feel very stressed. Over 8 weeks, one group does BAT twice a week while another group does nothing new. Researchers will measure changes in balance, sleep…

This study compares virtual reality training to standard treadmill walking for improving balance in people who have lost a leg below the knee. Twenty participants will be assigned to one of two groups. The goal is to see if the high-tech approach leads to better stability and wal…

This study tests whether adding a mild, non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) to a supervised Nordic walking program improves walking speed and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. Forty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either real or fake tDCS during 12 w…

This study tests whether adding nerve gliding exercises (neural mobilization) to standard balance training can reduce pain, improve balance, and boost quality of life in people with diabetic neuropathy. Thirty-two adults aged 50-75 with type 2 diabetes and nerve pain will be spli…

This study tests whether reactive balance training—using unpredictable movements that force quick corrections—improves dynamic stability and agility more than standard balance exercises in competitive tennis players aged 18-25. Sixty-four participants will be split into two group…

This study is observing 40 adults with multiple sclerosis to see how clinical tests of balance and walking relate to detailed motion-capture measurements. Participants will attend one session where they walk on force plates and perform balance tasks while cameras track their move…

This study compares healthy women aged 20-45 who have done Pilates for at least 6 months with those who are sedentary. Researchers will measure core muscle control, endurance, balance, and flexibility using simple physical tests. The goal is to see if regular Pilates leads to bet…

This study looks at whether three common blood pressure medications (beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and calcium channel blockers) affect balance and fall risk in adults newly diagnosed with high blood pressure. About 186 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three …

This study looks at whether putting elastic tape on the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) before high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve fitness. Thirty trained adults will do an 8-week cycling program, with half also getting the tape. Researchers will measure cha…

This study looks at how orthognathic (jaw) surgery changes body posture and the pressure on your feet when standing or walking. Researchers will measure these changes before surgery and 6 months after in 60 people, comparing them to a similar group who did not have surgery. The g…

This study is observing 85 male teen athletes aged 15-17 to see how their trunk mobility, hamstring flexibility, and balance differ by sport. No treatments are given—just measurements using a digital inclinometer and balance tests. The goal is to spot physical traits that might r…

This study watches how babies move in their first months to see if it predicts their development later. Researchers will video-record preterm and full-term infants and score their movements. When the children turn 18 and 36 months old, parents will fill out a questionnaire about …

This study is creating a new way to measure balance in healthy older adults aged 60 to 85. Researchers will test participants' balance using different standing tasks and compare results from two visits to ensure the test is reliable. The goal is to provide a simple, accurate tool…

This study looks at how central sensitization—a heightened pain response in the brain—relates to balance problems in people with fibromyalgia. Researchers will compare 75 fibromyalgia patients to healthy individuals using pain tests and a special balance device. The goal is to un…
