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 decline 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 older adult, you may be able to participate in a training intervention to determine the feasibility of a passive wearable ankle device that strengthens walking dynamics and decreases fall risk.

Are you living with chronic limb-threatening ischemia? You may be dealing with ongoing pain, hard-to-heal wounds, or tough choices about surgeries and treatments to save your leg or foot. We want to hear your story. What has it been like trying to get the care you need? Have you ever felt confused about your treatment options or wished for more support along the way? By sharing your experience, you can help us understand how to improve care for others facing the same condition. Maybe it's helping doctors explain things more clearly, finding better ways to manage pain, or offering support for people worried about losing their independence. We'll talk with you twice-once now and again in six months-to learn about your full journey, the highs and lows, and what really helped. Your voice can lead to real changes that make care better and less stressful for people in the future.

This will contribute to a greater understanding of the basic processes involved in reading, which may lead to improvements in education and more effective uses of information technology.
