This study tests a fully implanted nerve stimulator to help people with incomplete spinal cord injury walk better and farther. Five adults aged 18-75 with some leg movement but slow walking speed will receive the device and be followed for up to two years. The goal is to see if t…

This study tests whether adding two types of electrical stimulation to balance training can improve mobility and reduce fall risk in people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Up to 24 participants will be randomly assigned to balance training alone, with muscle stimulation (FES), or w…

This study looks at whether walking on a treadmill can help people who have had a stroke improve their walking pattern and reduce differences in body temperature between their affected and unaffected sides. Researchers will enroll 24 adults who had a stroke at least six months ag…

This study tests a new ankle brace with built-in motion sensors to see if it can accurately measure how people walk, run, jump, and balance. Researchers will compare the brace's readings to standard lab equipment. The goal is to see if the brace is reliable enough for future use …

This study looks at how having flat feet (pes planus) changes the way people walk on flat ground and on slopes. Researchers will measure walking speed, step length, and hip movement in 30 healthy adults aged 18-35 with and without flatfoot. The goal is to better understand these …

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 people aged 65 and older will perform walking tests with and without a cognitive challenge. The goal is to bett…

This study looks at whether the Figure-of-8 Walk Test is a reliable tool for measuring balance and walking in older adults with motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCRS), a condition that combines memory complaints with slow walking. Researchers will test 52 volunteers aged 65 and o…

This study looks at how the shape of your foot arch relates to the way you walk and your thinking skills in older adults. Researchers will measure foot structure, walking speed and steps, and reaction time using lights. The goal is to better understand these connections, which co…

This study looks at how children aged 7 to 17 with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) walk, both normally and while doing another task like a word game or arm movement. Researchers will compare their walking patterns to those of typically developing children. The goal is t…

This study looks at how wearing different heel heights (barefoot, 2 cm, and 6 cm) affects walking in healthy adults aged 18-35. Researchers will measure things like walking speed, step length, and hip movement using wireless sensors. The goal is to understand how heels change you…

This study looks at how different phases of the menstrual cycle affect walking patterns, pelvic movement, and sleep quality in healthy women aged 18 to 35 with regular cycles. Researchers will measure these factors during the early follicular, ovulation, and luteal phases using a…
