About Our Research Study
Join a study to help further research on improving brain function and balance control in individuals living with type 2 diabetes! Did you know that age-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes can affect your ability to walk and stand? Our researchers want to better understand the relationship between brain function and balance in order to find better treatments. If you enroll in this study, you will participate in a series of standing, walking, and balance exercises as well as brain stimulation sessions. By participating in our research, you are helping researchers find better treatments to improve the brain function and balance of adults with age-related diseases. Compensation will be provided for your time and participation. Check eligibility today! |
