This trial studies how people negotiate obstacles while walking, comparing those with normal vision and those with vision impairment. It may help researchers better understand balance and safety needs for walking in everyday settings.
This study tests if small sensors attached to magnifiers and remote rehab sessions can help people with low vision use their new devices more. You may join if you recently got a magnifier or vision app and can attend visits.
This study checks whether an in-ear device can enhance how clearly you speak, especially for people at risk of falling. You may do simple walking/standing tasks and use a study mobile app to help collect information.
This study tests whether a device that plays small, random sounds (called stochastic noise) can help people feel steadier and walk better. It is for healthy adults of two age groups — those 60 and older, and those 21–59.
This study tests whether a wearable device can help people with balance and vision problems after a mild concussion. You will use the device to guide your own exercises and help improve your recovery.
This study tests a wearable ankle device that provides vibrations to help older adults with balance and walking. It may be a good fit if you have concerns about falling or unsteadiness and live in a retirement community.
