Exciting volunteer opportunities to contribute to balance research include participating in studies as a research subject or helping as a research assistant in BFRC labs. See the specific calls for these volunteer opportunities below:
Participating as a Research Subject
Transferral of postural and emotional adaptation from virtual to real heights
Healthy young adults required for balance study involving adaptation to virtual and real heights
(2 visits - 2hrs/visit).
Neural Control of Posture and Movement Lab
Perceptions of Experimental Pain
Healthy young adults required for study on balance and gait effects perception of knee pain.
(3 visits - 3 hrs/visit)
Sensorimotor Physiology Lab
Adaptation of goal-directed whole-body postural movement to a repeated electrical vestibular perturbation
Looking for young, healthy adults for study on balance adaptation to vestibular perturbation.
(1 visit - 2 hrs/visit)
Neural Control of Posture and Movement Lab
Exploring the effects of aging on vestibular perception of rotation
Looking for healthy, older adults to participate in study on perception of standing rotations
(1 visit - 2.5hrs/visit)
Neural Control of Posture and Movement Lab
Exploring the effect of task design on the flexion-relaxation response in the lumbar spine during repetitive lifting
