NCT06400576 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: SPP
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 35
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 2

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to observe baropodometric parameters such as postural sway and foot pressure distrubiton in healthy young participants between the ages of 18-35. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• How does headphone usage affect baropodometric parameters in healthy young individuals?
• How does texting affect baropodometric parameters in healthy young individuals?
• How does headphone usage while texting affect baropodometric parameters in healthy young individuals? Participants will:
• Only be evaluated once.
• Stand on the Baropodometric device platform while standing, texting, listening to music, texting while listening to music for the static and posturographic balance evaluation.
• Walk on the baropdometric device platform while standing, texting, listening to music, texting while listening to music for dynamic evaluation.
