Walking study pulled before it even started
NCT ID NCT05713383
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to see if changing the sound of your own footsteps—by making them louder or softer—could affect how stable you are while walking. The researchers planned to test healthy adults who could walk for 30 minutes. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
