Hand and foot muscle study for less active adults
Part of Genetic & congenital, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at a small muscle in the hand and foot that some people are born without. Researchers want to see if lacking that muscle affects how you move or your risk of injury. You might join if you are not very active and are between 18 and 80 years old.

This study tests whether training the small muscles in your feet can improve your walking and balance if you have multiple sclerosis (MS). It is for people with moderate disability, so you can still walk but may have some trouble.
This study measures electrical activity in your calf muscles using small sensors placed on the skin. It may help researchers understand how these muscles work during movement.
This study looks at how foot movement relates to leg muscle function in young adults who don't exercise regularly. It aims to understand normal foot and leg mechanics.
This study uses an ultrasound scan to look at muscles and nerves (including the breathing muscle). It may help researchers better understand neuromuscular problems and how well ultrasound can detect them.
This study tests two types of hand-held muscle therapy tools (Graston and percussion therapy) on healthy but inactive adults aged 18-35. It aims to see which technique helps reduce muscle tension and improve flexibility without using drugs or surgery.
This study uses motion analysis to understand walking and arm function in adults with certain neurological or metabolic diseases. The goal is to find patterns that help doctors better manage these conditions.
