Wearable sensors give Real-Time feedback to improve gait in children with hemiplegia
NCT ID NCT07683624
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a biofeedback system using wearable sensors can improve walking in children aged 7 to 12 with hemiplegia (weakness on one side). Participants wear sensors that provide real-time audio and visual cues while walking on a treadmill, helping them correct abnormal gait patterns. The study compares this approach to conventional physical therapy over three months, measuring changes in step time, stride length, and other walking parameters.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Steadys Biofeedback Gait Training System
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could offer a more engaging and targeted way to improve walking patterns in children with hemiplegia, potentially enhancing mobility and independence.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The biofeedback system may not lead to significantly better outcomes than standard therapy.
