This $242,310 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to investigate differences in reactive balance control and motor adaptation to repeated perturbations between older adults with mild cognitive impairment (OAWMCI) and cognitively intact older adults (CIOA). The research will examine the underlying biomechanical, neuromuscular, and cortical mechanisms that contribute to increased fall risk in OAWMCI. The study will expose participants to...
This $2,489,035.02 federal Project Grant award was issued by the Defense Health Agency under the Military Medical Research and Development (CFDA 12.420) program. The grant aims to examine the effects of gait training with auditory biofeedback on gait biomechanics, ankle joint health, and patient-reported outcomes in individuals with chronic ankle instability. The primary awardee, the University of Kentucky Research Foundation, will collaborate with the University of North Carolina at Charlotte...
This $804,795 Project Grant was awarded on September 18, 2024 by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866). The funding supports a comprehensive research project investigating the neural mechanisms underlying the relationship between gait and cognitive function in individuals with subjective cognitive decline and a family history of Alzheimer's disease. The project aims to determine how declines in vestibular system function and...
This federal Project Grant award, with funding of $890,340.00 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, aims to develop an advanced prosthetic ankle-foot system that can automatically adjust its stiffness to improve balance control for individuals with lower-limb amputations. The project, part of the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will utilize an open-source hardware system to implement activity detection and phase-varying...
This Project Grant award for $1,080,883 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive contributions to walking as an early marker for the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the contribution of gait deficits, such as diminished locomotor learning and higher attentional need for gait control, in individuals at high risk for ADRD (those with mild...
This $166,392 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) supports research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying gait adaptations during split-belt treadmill training and the efficacy of sensory augmentation to enhance motor learning in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The project, led by principal investigator Andrew Hagen at Colorado State University, will...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary totals $632,334 and will fund research to investigate the contributions of vestibular, somatosensory, and visual dysfunction, as well as deficits in central sensory processing and closed-loop control, to imbalance and fall risk in older adults. The research aims to develop a personalized, holistic understanding of imbalance and falls, with a focus on...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded Neuromuscular Dynamics LLC a $1,800,418 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to clinically validate and commercialize the company's Leg Dexterity System. This home-based exercise device utilizes unstable dynamic foot-ground interactions to train proprioceptive and neuromuscular control, targeting the management of knee osteoarthritis. The project involves an 8-week longitudinal, blinded trial comparing the Leg Dexterity System against a...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $676,731 to Arizona State University to identify specific aspects of balance and reactive stepping that are related to falls in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). The goals of this 5-year project are to: Assess the relationship between reactive balance, standing balance, and prospectively measured falls in 100 individuals with PD at risk for falls. This will identify the critical balance...
This $149,880 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant supports research to investigate age-related changes in spatial orientation and sensory integration processes, with the goal of understanding how these mechanisms are impacted by aging and identifying potential biomarkers of fall risk. Specifically, the project will (I) parse out sensory contributions to spatial...
