Can flashing lights predict your next ankle injury?
NCT ID NCT07505537
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether a system called BlazePod®, which uses flashing lights to challenge balance, can help predict ankle injury risk in healthy, active adults. Sixty participants will do balance tests with and without the lights, and researchers will compare the results. If the new test works well, it could become a simple preseason screening tool for athletes.
What this could mean

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simple, tech-based way to screen athletes for ankle injury risk before the season starts.
