Join the study on walking performance in older adults
Researchers from the Neurophysiology of Movement Laboratory at ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ are conducting a study to investigate the influence of light electrical stimulation, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on walking performance in older adults. Individuals between 65 and 85 years of age with no recent lower-body injuries, free from neurological impairments and able to walk unaided for six minutes may be eligible to participate in the study.

The study involves two evaluation visits to ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ's main campus. The two sessions (each approximately an hour and a half) will be separated by three to seven days. Walking will be tested while TENS is applied over leg muscles and controlled by a foot switch. Participants will earn $60 for completing the two sessions.
