The primary objective of this study is to determine the preliminary feasibility and safety of high intensity stepping training for individuals with chronic (>6 months) cerebellar damage. Additionally, the secondary aim of this study is to assess the comparative efficacy of high intensity stepping training and conventional training on locomotor recovery, specifically walking endurance.To date, no studies have attempted to maximize both the amount and cardiovascular intensity of stepping practice in patients with cerebellar disorders.THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Recruitment will occur primarily from the inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation centers of the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana, with secondary sources of recruitment from surrounding rehabilitation facilities via flyers/laboratory contact information provided to associated clinical staff and providers.

Every parent wants the best for their child. We are looking for mothers and their teens to join a study about how a mother's past experiences can affect her child’s emotions and how they respond to stress as they grow up.  We will also study how these experiences may relate to alcohol use as children grow into their teen years.Who may be able to join?We are looking for mothers and their children ages 12 to 14 to take part in this study.The research team will ask additional questions to make sure the study is a safe and appropriate fit for both mother and child.Why take part?Every family has different experiences. By taking part, you can help researchers better understand how stress, emotions, and brain development may be connected as children grow.

We are actively recruiting preschool children (both Cochlear Implant users and Normal Hearing) to participate in a new, NIH funded, longitudinal research study on psychosocial outcomes, titled The Adjustment, Behavior, Language and Executive Functioning (ABLE) Project. In the ABLE project, we investigate how preschool children’s ability to identify, plan, execute, and evaluate goals contributes to social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes.Who can take part in this study?Age: Preschool children between the ages of 3–6 years.Language: Spoken English is the primary language.Hearing: CI Users: Bilateral severe-to-profound hearing loss prior to age 3 years with at least one CI activated by age 3.Normal Hearing Peers: Hearing within normal limits in both ears.

The Indiana Biobank is a research study started in 2010 by Indiana University School of Medicine and IU Health. The Indiana Biobank is like a giant library—but instead of books, it holds over 60,000 blood and other samples. Each sample is connected to the person’s medical records. The person’s name and personal details are removed before researchers can use the samples. These samples help doctors and scientists discover better ways to treat and prevent diseases!When you donate a small blood sample, you’re helping researchers learn more about how to keep people healthy. Your sample is unique, and it can help make sure future treatments work for everyone.Watch this video to learn more: 

One Blood Sample. One Visit. A Big Impact.The Indiana Biobank is a research program that began in 2010 through the Indiana University School of Medicine and IU Health. You can think of it like a huge library—only instead of storing books, it stores more than 60,000 blood and other medical samples.Each sample is linked to a person’s medical records, but names and personal details are removed before researchers ever see them. This protects privacy while still allowing doctors and scientists to learn from the information.This particular study is part of the Biobank’s special collections for Alzheimer’s research.. It focuses on gathering blood samples from three groups of people:Individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD),Individuals with cognitive impairment, andHealthy adults (known as “controls”)By studying these samples, scientists can make sure that Alzheimer’s-related blood tests give consistent, reliable results no matter which lab looks at them. This is an important step toward improving how we diagnose and understand Alzheimer’s disease.More information about the Indiana Biobank, as well as FAQs, can be found here:  https://iuhealth.org/find-medical-services/indiana-biobank
