U.S., Aug. 1 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07738653) titled 'Changes in Spatiotemporal Gait Parameters in Experienced Meditators' on July 21.
Brief Summary: This research project aims to investigate whether participation in a 5-day meditation retreat is associated with changes in biomechanical gait parameters in experienced meditators. Walking is a complex motor function that integrates cognitive, sensory, and neuromuscular processes, and alterations in gait have been linked to neurological, psychological, and emotional functioning. Recent advances in wearable sensor technology enable precise assessment of gait characteristics, including stance and swing phases, foot-rocker timing, acceleratio...
