Intermittent Visual Perturbations to Enhance Balance Training

Sponsor: University of Florida

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine if intermittent visual perturbations can improve balance training. The investigators will quantify differences in body movement, muscle activity, and beam walking performance during and after practice walking on a balance beam that is 1" high. The investigators will ask the participants to come to the laboratory twice (2 sessions). The first session will not last more than 3 hours. The second session will not last more than 1 hour and will be two weeks after the first session. In total, the maximum amount of time the participant would be asked to participate is 4 hours.

DEVICE

Visual Occlusion Goggles

The visual occlusion goggles alternate between sight and visual occlusion in a regular and programmable pattern. Based on the electrical properties of the goggles, they are also able to have the tint adjusted instead of blacking out entirely for the occlusion times during the programmed timings.

BEHAVIORAL

Balance Beam Walking

Participants will walk on a treadmill mounted balance beam to assess their balance
