Walking Sensation Study for older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study is for older adults who walk slowly and have some loss of feeling in their feet. Researchers want to see if a special walking test can help understand this better. You must be generally healthy and free of major medical issues or recent surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 65 and 95 years old.
- You walk slowly (slower than most people your age).
- You have some loss of feeling in your feet (like not feeling a light touch).
- You do not have serious health problems (like uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe arthritis, or recent heart surgery or fracture).
- You do not have a diagnosis of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, or similar conditions, and you are not taking certain medications for the nervous system.
