Brief description of study.

The purpose of this study is to examine muscular activity of the leg and right lower legs while encountering a perturbation during treadmill walking.

Detailed description of study

The purpose of this study is to explore neural mechanisms at the spinal level during human gait, especially in recovery from perturbation.

This study takes place in Bloomington, IN.

Participants will not be paid for their participation.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how muscles in the leg and right lower leg work when a person encounters a disturbance while walking on a treadmill. This study will also explore how the nervous system, particularly at the spinal level, helps people recover their balance during walking.

Participants will be asked to walk on a treadmill while their leg muscles and nerve activity are monitored. This will help researchers understand how the body responds to unexpected changes during walking.

  • Who can participate: Individuals who can walk independently at a speed of at least 2 mph are eligible. Participants should not have a history of neurological disorders, chronic diseases, or movement disorders.
  • Study details: Participants will walk on a treadmill while researchers monitor their muscle and nerve activity. This is to study how the body responds to disturbances during walking.
