Study Details

Testing the Impact of Motor Adaptation for People with Concussions

(IRB#: IRB_00189122)

This study wants to better understand how concussions impact peoples ability to change walking behavior in response to changes in the environment. People in the study will have brain activity and walking behavior measured while walking on a treadmill. Being in the study requires attending one visit to the study clinic lasting about 1.5 hours. This study will compare the motor adaptation of people who have concussions to healthy individuals.
