Balance rehabilitation system for older adults using AI and motion sensors

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 project aims to develop a balance rehabilitation system specifically for older adults by integrating Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensing technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The system will monitor and assess movement and posture through IMU sensors, which will provide precise gait analysis. AI will be utilized to customize training regimens based on individual physiological characteristics, enhancing the effectiveness of balance training. The study will involve a three-year plan, focusing on system development, optimization, and clinical validation against standard physical exercises.
