Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to investigate how cognitive load affects balance recovery mechanisms in young adults after experiencing perturbations. It will evaluate the influence of secondary tasks on cognitive load and vice versa, comparing the effects in male and female participants. By utilizing a dual-task paradigm, the research will explore the relationship between cognitive functioning and postural stability during balance challenges. The study will involve interventions such as perturbation and various cognitive tasks to assess their impact on balance.
