NM Balance Regulation With ULLS and Loss of Sleep

Conditions: Muscle Weakness, Quadriceps Muscle Atrophy, Sleep Disturbance

Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 50 Years
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 16
Sponsor: Lance Bollinger

Location: University of Kentucky Lexington Kentucky

Summary

The goal of this trial is to learn about how restricted sleep and not bearing weight on the leg affects muscle strength and posture control. Participants will walk exclusively on one leg, sleep at differing intervals, and complete posture tests, muscle strength tests, and muscle imaging. Researchers will compare adequate sleep and restricted sleep to see if muscle strength and posture are affected.
