Volunteers needed: Study on control of movements in healthy individuals, people with multiple sclerosis

The Neurophysiology of Movement Laboratory (located on CU Boulder's Main Campus) is evaluating the influence of multiple sclerosis on the ability to control the force produced by lower-leg muscles. The study consists of one 2-hour visit to assess motor function with self-reported and clinical assessments and lower-leg muscle activity during moderate contractions.

The inclusion criteria for healthy individuals include:

  • Men and women 18–65 years old
  • No visual impairment (corrected vision is okay)
  • No current or recent (<2 months) lower-limb injury
  • No major health problems

The inclusion criteria for people with multiple sclerosis include:

  • Clinical diagnosis of multiple sclerosis
  • Able to walk with or without assistive device
  • Men and women 18–65 years old
  • No visual impairment (corrected vision is okay)
  • No current or recent (<2 months) lower-limb injury
  • No other major health problems than multiple sclerosis
