Leg symmetry in distance runners and non-runners
This study looks at how balanced your legs are when you run, comparing runners of different levels to non-runners. It involves simple physical tests to measure leg strength and balance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 20 and 50 years old.
- You need to be free from any injury that required medical attention for at least 6 months.
- No surgery on your legs in the past 6 months.
- You should not take medications that could affect your balance or physical performance.
- Your running level should fit one of these groups: high mileage (over 150 km/month), moderate (40-150 km/month), novice (up to 10 km/week), or you don't run at all.
- You can speak Dutch, French, or English.

This study looks at how people with rare or common neurological diseases walk and keep their balance. You will be asked to do simple walking and standing tasks to help doctors understand these problems better.
This study collects walking data from healthy adults to improve gait analysis methods using motion sensors. If you have no recent leg pain or injuries, you may be able to help.
This study checks balance and leg strength using simple walking and movement tests. It focuses on adults with spinal deformity and compares them to people without deformity, to better measure how well you function.
This study collects walking and balance data from healthy people to create a reference guide (a 'normative database') for gait analysis. It will help doctors better compare and understand walking patterns in people with medical conditions.
This study looks at how differences in strength and function between your left and right legs might affect your risk of falling. If you join, you'll help researchers understand why some older adults fall and others don't, which could lead to better fall prevention.
This study looks at how the length of the remaining part of your leg (residual limb) affects your strength, balance, and walking ability. If you have a transfemoral amputation (above the knee) and use a prosthesis, this trial may help researchers better understand your function.
