Study Summary

This trial will test how well a machine can create controlled falls, to help researchers understand how to better treat people with balance disorders.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adults who can follow instructions and have no medical conditions, injuries, or surgeries affecting balance, mobility, or strength. There are no restrictions based on gender, race, or ethnicity. People with chronic pain in major joints or the back or those using assistive devices like walkers cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing 'Treadmetrix', a microprocessor-controlled treadmill designed to deliver controlled postural disturbances. The goal is to validate how accurately this equipment can simulate these disturbances for research purposes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves physical activity on a treadmill that simulates disturbances in posture, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, and risk of falls during the test.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Estimate the limits of agreement between observed and commanded treadmill belt disturbance parameters: average initial acceleration.
Estimate the limits of agreement between observed and commanded treadmill belt disturbance parameters: belt displacement.
Estimate the limits of agreement between observed and commanded treadmill belt disturbance parameters: peak velocity.
Secondary outcome measures
Kinetic loading exerted on treadmill during perturbations: treadmill force.
