Improving Walking Patterns in Individuals with an ACL Reconstruction

Individuals with a history of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and have had an ACL reconstruction (ACLR) are at a greater risk for developing osteoarthritis. The greater risk for developing osteoarthritis is likely caused by too little force or physical activity applied to the knee during weightbearing tasks such as walking. To reduce this decrease in forces during walking following an ACLR, we must first develop effective treatments that can train a person to walk in a way that reduces their risk of developing osteoarthritis. The purpose of this research study is to determine the feasibility and the initial effects of a 6-week training program designed to improve walking mechanics of individuals with an ACL reconstruction.

Transcranial electrical stimulation and attention task performance

This three-hour study involves completing an attention task on the computer while you receive different types of electrical stimulation depending on when you visit the lab. You will complete 1 attention task multiple times during each one-hour visit to the lab. During this time, you will receive electrical stimulation for 20 minutes total while performing the attention task. This will result in 3 visits each lasting 1 hour each. This study will allow us to understand how the brain processes attention. Please contact hlmorgan@live.unc.edu if you have any questions or concerns.

ProNET: Psychosis Risk Outcomes Network

The purpose of this research study is to better understand the cause and course of clinical high-risk symptoms and to monitor participants for the possible development of mental illnesses such as psychosis. Clinical high-risk symptoms can include feeling low in mood, feeling like something odd is going on, feeling suspicious, or seeing or hearing things that the person knows aren't there. Some people might worry that their thoughts are being heard or might be having more difficulty than usual coping with work, school, or relationships. For some, these early symptoms may become more severe over time. For others, the symptoms may stay the same, decrease, or go away entirely. Improving our knowledge about these symptoms and risk factors and the way that they change over time may help researchers and clinicians predict possible outcomes for individual patients and develop treatment plans that are best suited to individual patients.
