The Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine & Science was awarded a $399,989 Project Grant from the Department of Defense's Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420) to conduct research on "WALK-RELATED PERFORMANCE FATIGABILITY AS A NOVEL MARKER OF FALL RISK IN LOWER LIMB PROSTHESIS USERS WITH DIABETES". The grant, which runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will fund a study aimed at developing a novel way to assess fall risk in individuals with diabetes who use lower limb prostheses. The research seeks to investigate walk-related performance fatigability as a potential marker of fall risk in this population, with the goal of informing the development of improved prevention and rehabilitation strategies.
