Balance

This study tests whether a child-friendly core exercise program, delivered via video, can improve balance and mobility in children aged 6-12 with spastic cerebral palsy. Half of the 54 participants will do the Fun-Core exercises at home 3 times a week for 8 weeks, while the other…

This study looks at whether using a foam roller before training can help prevent injuries and improve performance in young soccer players aged 14 to 18. About 65 male athletes will be split into two groups: one that does foam rolling exercises and one that does not. Researchers w…

This study tests whether balance training tailored to each person's difficulty level is feasible for people with multiple sclerosis during a three-week inpatient rehabilitation stay. Participants are randomly assigned to either standard group training or individually tailored bal…

This trial tests whether adding rhythmic auditory stimulation — like a steady beat — to dynamic neuromuscular stability exercises improves balance, body awareness, and performance in badminton players recovering from a lateral ankle sprain. About 44 players aged 18 to 30 with a r…

This study tests a device called Walkasins, worn like an ankle strap and insole, that gives gentle vibrations to help people with peripheral neuropathy feel their feet better. The goal is to see if it improves walking, balance, and daily physical activity. Eighteen adults aged 60…

This study compares three types of walking training for people who have had a stroke: forward walking with body support, backward walking with body support, and virtual reality-assisted walking. The goal is to see which method best improves walking ability, balance, and overall f…

This study tests whether playing a special video-based game (BeCure) twice a week for 6 weeks can improve balance, hand-eye coordination, and confidence in people aged 60 and older. Researchers will compare 32 healthy older adults who play the game to a control group that does no…

This study tests whether combining aerobic, strength, and balance exercises with cognitive training (dual-tasking) can improve gait, balance, and cognition in people with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's. Forty-five participants will be split into three groups: one do…

This study tests whether adding kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape) to exercise can improve posture, balance, pain, and quality of life in young adults aged 18-45 with a rounded upper back (thoracic hyperkyphosis). 48 participants will be split into three groups: exercise plus…

This study tests a modified ankle brace with built-in motion sensors to see if it can accurately measure how people walk, run, jump, and climb stairs while wearing combat boots. Healthy adults aged 18-40 will perform these tasks both with and without the brace, and the brace's me…

This study looks at whether a figure-of-eight backward walking test can reliably measure balance and fall risk in healthy adults aged 65 and older. Researchers will test 87 participants twice over two days to see if the test gives consistent results. No treatment is given—the goa…

This study compares three types of exercise programs—traditional physical activity, virtual reality, and video game-based—to see how they affect physical fitness and attention in healthy adolescents aged 10-18. Participants will be split into three groups and follow their assigne…

This study examines how spinal posture and movement relate to balance in 30 adults with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Researchers will measure spinal angles and mobility, then compare them with balance tests. The goal is to identify links that could inform future rehabi…

This study looks at whether the Figure-of-8 Walk Test is a valid and reliable way to measure walking and balance in older adults with motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCRS). MCRS combines slow walking speed with memory complaints and may signal future dementia. Researchers will 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 participants aged 65+ will do walking tests alone and while thinking. The goal is to better understand early si…

This study tests whether wearing goggles that briefly block vision can improve balance training. Participants aged 18-30 or 65-89 will walk on a balance beam while the goggles alternate between clear and occluded vision. Balance is measured before, after, and two weeks later. The…

This study tests whether one session of core stabilization exercises can immediately improve balance and arm function in competitive archers. Thirty licensed archers will either do the exercises or not, then take balance and reaction tests. The goal is to see if core exercises ma…
