We are currently looking for unimpaired participants to act as controls in our research project examining sensation in amputees. We are matching our controls based on age (+/- 1 year) and s*x. If you or someone you know is within 1 year old of the participants listed below, we would greatly appreciate their participation!
Male, 40
Male, 49
Male, 51
Male, 64

The research will consist of 1-2 sessions, lasting no more than 2 hours each, during which we will conduct a simple, painless test of sensation. They will be rewarded with a $25 Amazon gift card for each session they complete. If you or someone you know would like to participate, please email Alex Chavez, SPT ([email protected]) or our study coordinator, Jubayer Hossain ([email protected]), to be scheduled.

Movement is medicine. 🧠💪

Dr. Merrill Landers, interim dean of the School of Integrated Health Science, is helping lead the conversation on how exercise can positively impact people living with Parkinson’s disease. His research highlights that aerobic exercise may reduce inflammation, support brain health, and potentially slow disease progression.

From treadmill walking and beyond - staying active isn’t just about fitness, it’s about function, independence, and quality of life. Proud to see UNLV experts advancing research that can truly change lives!
