Volunteers Needed for an Obstacle Crossing Study
If you are 60-80 years old, you may be eligible to participate in this study.
The goal of this study is to measure how you step over common obstacles found in everyday life while walking.
The study requires a one-time visit of about 1.5 hours long. You will be asked to walk back and forth across the laboratory while crossing various obstacles at your typical walking speed. We will also ask you to complete several questionnaires and measures of physical activity, physical function, and thinking.
