Smart soles could track walking trouble in nerve disease
NCT ID NCT05492604
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether special insoles with pressure sensors (FEETME®) can accurately measure walking speed in people with CIDP, a nerve condition that causes walking difficulties. Researchers compared the insoles to a standard walkway system in 18 adults aged 18-75 with CIDP. The study was terminated early, so results are limited, but if validated, these insoles could provide a convenient way to monitor gait at home.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If the smart insoles prove accurate, they could offer a simple, at-home way to track walking problems in CIDP, helping doctors adjust treatments more easily.
- What could go wrong
- This was a small, early-stage study that was terminated, so results are limited. The technology may not be reliable enough for routine use.
