Calf muscle activity study using skin sensors
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 30 years old
- You have no serious muscle, bone, or joint problems in your legs
- You have not had surgery or a leg injury in the last 6 months
- You have no skin conditions on your lower legs and are not allergic to medical tape
- You have not done intense exercise in the 12 hours before the test

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two different methods of measuring electrical signals in your shin muscle: one uses a small needle inserted into the muscle, and the other uses sensors on the skin surface. Researchers want to see if both methods give similar results, which could help doctors choose the best way to test muscle health in the future.
This study looks at how a muscle in your calf (gastrocnemius) responds to a gentle electrical test in people with long-term nerve pain from the lower back. It aims to learn more about how the condition affects muscle function, which could help improve future treatments.
This study tests a new wireless skin sensor that sticks to your residual limb (the part of your leg below the knee where you wear your prosthetic). The goal is to track how your skin is doing inside the socket. If you qualify, you'll visit North Carolina State University to try the sensor and be photographed during research activities.
This trial checks if a sensor that measures muscle tiredness works reliably in teenagers who are physically active. If you play sports or dance regularly, your participation could help improve how we understand muscle fatigue.
This study assesses physical activity in people with different muscle diseases (like Duchenne, FSHD, and others) and in healthy volunteers. It helps doctors understand how these conditions affect daily movement and function.
This study uses a simple electrical test (EIM) and an MRI scan to check muscle health in people with muscle diseases. It may help researchers learn how to measure muscle changes without a biopsy.
