A study on language impairment following a stroke
Official TitleLaying the Groundwork for Personalized Medicine in Aphasia Therapy: Genetic and Cognitive Predictors of Restorative Treatment ResponsePurposeThis NIH-funded project will investigate patient-specific factors that may influence response to therapy for language impairment after stroke, or aphasia. Results from this work will assist with better estimation of prognosis for stroke survivors with aphasia, which could empower patients and families to make more informed health care decisions about how to pursue the most appropriate rehabilitation services based on their unique characteristics, such as genetics, cognitive skills, and brain structure after stroke.

A Study to Evaluate If Real-Time Visual Feedback on Breathing Influences Time to Exhaustion
Official TitleThe influence of receiving real-time visual feedback on breathing during treadmill running to exhaustionPurposeThe purpose of this research is to assess if receiving real-time visual feedback on your breathing pattern during a run has any influence on time to exhaustion.
The feedback will be provided through animations on a screen placed in front of the treadmill that open and close as the chest and abdomen expand and contract. Research has shown that you want the chest and abdomen to expand and contract at the same time to achieve the most efficient breathing possible, meaning you will want the animations to open and close at the same time.
The ultimate objective is to see if this feedback allowed the participant to last longer until reaching their exhaustion point.
Could this study be right for you?- Healthy adults who run 5 to 20 miles per week
- Have NOT been injured while running in the past six months
- Have NOT been medically diagnosed with breathing deficiencies
- must be age 18 or older
Those who are interested in participating will be directed to complete a survey, found at go.osu.edu/RunningAndBreathing, to ensure that they meet the previously mentioned criteria.Age Range18 and up -
