Summary
This study tests a smartphone app called ICanWALK that teaches people how to properly fit and use walking aids like crutches, canes, and walkers. Researchers will compare it to a breathing app in 52 adults with lower limb injuries or conditions like stroke or multiple sclerosis. The goal is to see if the app improves balance confidence, mobility, and reduces falls.
