The UNC MOTION Science Institute is seeking volunteers with a history of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery and healthy controls for a research study on the effects of stroboscopic vision on walking gait biomechanics, and how the somatosensory function may influence these changes. Individuals who have injured their ACLs are at a high risk of developing post-traumatic osteoarthritis, in part due to altered gait biomechanics. Stroboscopic vision has been shown to alter biomechanics in other tasks and populations, but its effects on walking biomechanics following ACL reconstruction is unknown.
This study aims to understand how a person's race and where they live affect the quality of breast cancer care they receive. We invite Black and/or African American breast cancer patients and survivors from specific areas of North Carolina to participate in a virtual focus group.
