In this study, we wan to learn how stress in your life may affect how your genes work. We want to learn how these changes can increase risk for heart disease.
Have you been diagnosed with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma? If so, you may be able to participate in a research study to evaluate whether pembrolizumab and olaparib given before and after chemoradiotherapy can improve 1-year progression free survival.
Up to 30% of individuals who injure their anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) suffer another ACL injury following reconstruction surgery. Improving function of the hamstrings muscles may reduce the risk of a second ACL injury. This study will determine if a novel rehabilitation tool (local muscle vibration) improves muscle function and landing characteristics (biomechanics) that are linked to ACL injury risk. Compensation is 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.
Have you had ACL reconstruction? You may be able to participate in a research study examining how brain function might change after surgery. Compensation provided.
African American communities have been disproportionately affected by the burdens of cancer, yet their experiences and voices remain underrepresented in health research. In this study, we want to understand the experiences and perspectives of African American/Black individuals who support or care for their loved ones diagnosed with cancer.
This project is designed to get valuable feedback from physical therapists and patient groups for a video game product for knee rehabilitation. It is a sub study of an overall project that includes a clinical trial on the effect of the implementation of the video game. KneeBright is an EMG driven video game platform for rehabilitation for knee osteoarthritis. This custom program was developed to complement lower extremity strengthening.
Have you or a family member been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease? Would you be interested in helping researchers learn more about Parkinson's by giving a blood or saliva sample? If so, you may be eligible to participate in a research study that will utilize genetic testing to provide you more information about the possible roles of your genes in your diagnosis.
Do you have a newly diagnosed endometrial cancer? if so, you may be eligible to participate in a research study looking at the role the uterine and gut microbiomes play in endometrial cancer development and treatment.
This study is examining the impact of testing order on maximal strength and oxygen uptake assessment performance. We aim to determine if a testing order for these variables exists that maximizes results for use in future research interventions and athletic combines.
