What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

Researchers at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences are studying whether kinesiology tape applied to the calf muscle (gastrocnemius) affects balance during a single-leg stance with eyes closed. The trial enrolls 20 healthy young adults with no conditions that affect posture. Participants stand on one leg while equipment measures how much their center of pressure sways, comparing taping aimed at activating versus inhibiting the muscle.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
kinesiology taping applied to the calf muscle (gastrocnemius)
What this could lead to
If taping changes balance control, it could inform how clinicians use taping for stability training or rehabilitation.
What could go wrong
This is a small study of 20 healthy young adults, so any effect may be minor and may not apply to older people or those with balance problems.
