Did you recently have an ACLR? Are you aware of your increase chances of developing knee osteoarthritis? If so, please participate in our study analyzing how knee joint movements are linked to cartilage strain to help prevent knee osteoarthritis. Compensation provided.

Preventing walking disability in our rapidly aging population is an enormous public health challenge. Fundamental to their loss of functional mobility is that the muscles needed to power walking experience disproportionate declines in function with age. Wearable assistive devices can be designed to augment the function of these muscles and may make walking easier. If you are a healthy young adult, you may be eligible to participate in a study to help guide the development of more effective exoskeleton designs!

Do we feel fear to fall when walking for a long period of time as we age? If you are a healthy older adult (65-99 yrs), you may be able to participate in a study to find out how aging affects neuromuscular control and postural control during prolonged walking and whether carbon fiber insoles can reduce muscle fatigue.

Do you want to know more about your calf muscles? Do you get tired easily? You may be able to participate in a research study to find out the effect of your calf muscle length on your muscle activity and fatigue.

Are you interested in how changes in shoes and footwear can be used to make improvements to day-to-day life? You may be able to participate in a research study to quantify the biomechanical effects of different footwear on walking. Compensation provided.

Do you wonder about your mobility as you age? You may be eligible to participate in a research study investigating age effects on foot-ankle mechanical power interactions with the goal to enhance foot and ankle function in aging and mobility. Compensation provided.
