Balance and stress study for younger and older adults
This study looks at how stress affects balance in young adults (ages 18-39) and older adults (age 65 and older). Researchers want to understand if stress makes it harder to keep steady, which could help prevent falls in older adults.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how doing mental tasks (cognitive load) affects your balance and stability. You stand and maybe do a simple thinking exercise while your balance is measured, to see if mental effort makes it harder to stay steady.
This study looks at how feeling physically or mentally tired affects your balance. If you're a young adult, you might join to help understand how fatigue impacts balance, which could improve fall prevention.
This study looks at how stress affects balance in healthy young adults. You may join if you are healthy and between 18 and 25, and you will likely do balance tests and stress-relief activities.
This research study examines how older adults maintain balance and walk. Researchers want to understand what helps people stay steady on their feet as they age, which could lead to better ways to prevent falls.
This study is testing a new tool to measure balance in older adults who are still active and independent. It aims to help identify early balance problems before they lead to falls.
This study tests two different exercise programs to see which one better improves balance and leg strength in older adults. It may help reduce the risk of falls and improve overall mobility.
