Researchers from the Neurophysiology of Movement Laboratory at CU Boulder are conducting a study to investigate the influence of light electrical stimulation (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) on walking performance in older adults. Individuals who are aged between 65 and 85, with no recent lower-body injuries, free from neurological impairments and able to walk unaided for six minutes may be eligible to participate in our study. 

The study involves two evaluation visits to CU Boulder Main Campus. The two sessions (each ~1.5 hours each) will be separated by three to seven days. Walking will be tested while transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is applied over leg muscles and controlled by a foot switch. 

Participants will earn $60 for completing the two sessions. If interested, please contact Rehab Aljaafari to learn more about the study: phone 720-687-7148 or email real5810@colorado.edu.

The Center for Teaching and Learning is very interested in helping faculty at CU Boulder improve their teaching and policy with respect to AI. Collecting the student perspective on AI is critical to this effort!

Have you ever wondered why it becomes increasingly more challenging to not spill your coffee the longer you have to transport that exquisitely full cup of liquid gold? Are you curious how the nervous system controls muscle after repeated bouts of contractile effort? So are we!

The Neurophysiology of Movement Lab is looking for healthy adults aged 18–45 years to participate in a research study investigating how the nervous system controls muscle force, using contractions that challenge force control. 

The study involves one, 1.5-hour visit to our lab on the CU Boulder Main Campus.  

If interested, please call 303-492-4975 or email kelsey.koger@colorado.edu and reference the "Contraction History" study.
