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.
