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 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 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 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 either do HIIT alone or HIIT with the tape for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure …

This study watches how preterm and full-term babies move in their first months to see if these early movements can predict their motor, thinking, and sensory skills at 18 and 36 months old. Researchers will score the babies' movements from videos and later ask parents about their…

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 repeat the tests a week later to see if the results are reliable. The goal is to develop a simple, accurate to…

This study looks at how changes in pain processing (called central sensitization) relate to balance problems in people with fibromyalgia. Researchers will compare 75 adults with fibromyalgia to healthy volunteers using pain tests and a balance-measuring device. The goal is to bet…

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

This study looks at healthy women aged 20 to 45 to see if those who regularly do Pilates have better core stability, balance, and flexibility than those who are sedentary. Researchers will measure muscle control, endurance, and balance using simple tests. The goal is to understan…

This study looks at whether reactive balance training (responding to unexpected movements) or conventional balance training (standard exercises) works better for improving stability and quick direction changes in tennis players. About 64 competitive players aged 18-25 will take p…

This study looks at how trunk mobility, hamstring flexibility, and balance vary among 85 male teen athletes (ages 15-17) in different sports. Researchers will measure these traits to identify sport-specific patterns that may relate to injury risk and performance. The goal is to b…

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…
