This study compares in-person balance assessments with video-based (telehealth) assessments for older adults. It aims to see if balance can be checked reliably over a video call, making it easier for you to participate from home.
This study compares doing a 30-second sit-stand test at home via video call versus in a clinic. The goal is to see if remote testing works as well as in-person for people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). This could help you avoid extra trips to the clinic.
This study tests a home-based exercise program done through video calls (tele-rehabilitation) for people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to improve your walking, balance, and daily life, and you can do it from the comfort of your home.
This study tests whether a balance-training program done at home with a coach over video calls can help older adults who are at risk of falling. If you qualify, you will join a supervised training program that may improve your balance and reduce your risk of falls.
This study tests a virtual reality version of a sit-to-stand exercise to see if it's a reliable way to measure leg strength and balance in healthy young adults. It may help improve how we assess physical fitness in the future.
