Researchers at Michigan Tech University are seeking young adults to participate in a research study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of lighting conditions on balance recovery. We seek individuals 18-40 years old who do not currently have any musculoskeletal disorders or injuries, history of traumatic injuries, or have any vestibular or neurological disorders that affect your balance. For this study, individuals will be asked to perform a series of trials that will challenge their balance in three different lighting environments. During these trials you will wear sensors that will measure your movement. Results from this study allows researchers and clinical practitioners ways to improve the avoidance of falls.
You will be excluded from this study if you:
- Are not between the ages of 18-40 years old
- Are currently diagnosed with a musculoskeletal disorder or injury
- Has been or is diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury
- Has been or is diagnosed with vestibular or neurological disorders that affect balance
