POSTURAL BALANCE

This study looks at whether custom exercises that combine thinking tasks (like counting) with movement (like walking) can improve balance and mobility in healthy adults aged 65 and older. 48 participants will do supervised exercises 3 days a week for 8 weeks. The goal is to preve…

This study tests whether adding nerve exercises (neural mobilization) to standard balance training can reduce pain, improve balance, and boost quality of life in people with diabetic neuropathy. About 32 adults aged 50-75 with type 2 diabetes and mild to moderate nerve pain will …

This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) given during a supervised Nordic walking program can improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. Forty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either real or fake stimulation wh…

This study watches how babies move in their first months to see if it predicts their development at 18 and 36 months. Researchers will video-record early movements of 60 preterm and full-term infants and score them. Later, parents fill out a questionnaire about their child's moto…

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 practice lea…

This study is creating a new way to measure balance in healthy older adults aged 60 to 85. Participants must be able to walk without help and have no recent falls. They will do simple balance tests, like standing on one leg, during two sessions a week apart. The goal is to provid…

This study looks at whether putting a special tape on the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) can make high-intensity interval training (HIIT) more effective. Thirty trained adults aged 18-35 will do an 8-week cycling program, with half also getting the tape. Researchers will m…

This study looks at how 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 drug…

This study looks at how orthognathic (jaw) surgery can change your body posture and the way pressure is distributed on your feet. Researchers will measure these changes before surgery and 6 months after, comparing results to a group of people who did not have surgery. The goal is…

This study looks at how trunk mobility, leg flexibility, and balance differ in male teen athletes (ages 15-17) who have patellofemoral pain syndrome (knee pain). Researchers will measure these factors using simple tests like the Y-Balance Test and a digital inclinometer. The goal…

This study looks at how fibromyalgia-related pain sensitivity (central sensitization) is linked to balance problems. Researchers will compare 75 adults with fibromyalgia to healthy volunteers using pain tests and a special balance platform. The goal is to understand if changes in…
