Analyzing gait patterns in adults with gait disturbances using smart insoles

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an insole-type gait analyzer in adults experiencing gait and balance disorders. Participants will wear the smart insoles while performing a series of assessments, including surveys and the Timed Up and Go test, to collect data on their gait patterns. The study will analyze the data collected from the accelerometer and pressure sensors in the insoles to identify clinically significant information regarding gait disturbances. There is no control group, and the focus is on understanding the utility of the gait analyzer in real-world settings.
