Can You Help Us Understand Balance and Falls?
April 14, 2026
Volunteers between 50 and 65 years of age are needed for a paid research study that examines balance recovery after a trip while walking on a treadmill. The study is three visits, two hours per visit, and is being conducted at 100 Penn St., Allied Health Research Building, University of Maryland, Baltimore.
We will also assess your lower leg muscle strength and nerve function, general nutrition, and physical activity status. At the conclusion of the study, you will receive a personalized report of your balance and physical activity status. All assessments are noninvasive and conducted by trained researchers.
