The purpose of this study is to determine whether inactive adults are able to walk at a moderate pace (100 steps per minute) for 10 minutes when walking on a treadmill, a sidewalk, and a nature trail, and to learn about adults' feelings and mood when walking at a moderate pace. The purpose of this study is to inform future interventions focused on helping inactive adults increase their physical activity participation in fun and enjoyable ways.
Ever wonder how the way you walk may affect your knees? Have you ever had an ACL reconstruction? You may be able to take part in a study to learn more about how different types of force applied to your legs can affect your knee while walking on a treadmill.
Are you in perimenopause? Are you interested in lifting weights and taking creatine supplements? Do you want to learn more about your body and brain? If so, you may be able to participate in a research study to understand the impact of resistance training and creatine on muscle quality and cognition in perimenopause!
In patients undergoing rotator cuff tear repair surgery, there is a correlation between poor psychological function before surgery and worsening of post-intervention outcomes, such as persistence of postoperative pain intensity and worse levels of function/disability. There is a need to address these poor responses prior to and after surgery to improve outcomes. Psychological skills training is a component of psychologically informed practice, which encompasses managing emotions, building confidence, goal-setting, enhancing motivation, and addressing injury-related fear. It is unknown if psychological skills training is a feasible and acceptable way to address these unfavorable responses after rotator cuff repair surgery. Prior to conducting large clinical trials assessing the efficacy of psychological skills training interventions, a proof of concept study is needed to determine if patients find psychological skills training as feasible, acceptable, and appropriate during their recovery from rotator cuff repair surgery.
We are conducting a research study to evaluate sleep and psychological outcomes in individuals 1-month to 3-months post-ACLR. This will help identify changes after ACLR to help develop future interventions to improve outcomes after ACLR.

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.
