This study tests a new training method for older adults (65+) who are in the hospital and cannot walk. The method combines light leg exercises with a blood flow restriction cuff and a tablet game that responds to muscle signals. The goal is to prevent muscle weakness and help pat…

This study will test a new type of artificial foot that moves more naturally at the ankle. About 120 people with leg amputations will compare this new foot to their current one during daily activities like walking on flat ground, slopes, and stairs. The goal is to see if the new …

This study looks at how high-altitude training camps affect sleep and menstrual cycles in 30 elite female cyclists. Researchers will track participants before, during, and after a training camp using sleep monitors, hormone tests, and performance tests. The goal is to understand …

This study tests a program to help nursing home staff avoid sending residents to the hospital unless absolutely necessary. Hospital stays can be hard on older adults, so the program provides tools and training to handle health issues on-site. The study will involve 12 nursing hom…

This study tests a new way to take CT scans of the knee while it bears weight, like standing. The goal is to see if this method can detect tiny movements in knee implants earlier than current X-rays. The study includes 15 people: healthy volunteers and those with a knee replaceme…

This observational study aims to understand why stroke survivors experience muscle fatigue differently. Researchers will compare 120 participants (stroke survivors and healthy volunteers) by measuring brain and leg muscle activity during repeated exercises. The goal is to identif…

This study aims to collect walking data from 150 healthy adults using both wearable sensors and a high-precision motion-capture system. The goal is to create a high-quality dataset that can help improve how wearable devices detect walking events like heel-strikes and toe-offs. Th…
