Robotic shoes aim to ease painful walking for veterans with poor circulation
NCT ID NCT04337554
Summary
This study tested a special type of spring-powered footwear, called exoskeleton footwear, to see if it could help people with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) walk better. PAD causes painful leg cramps when walking. Researchers tested the shoes on 47 people over 40, including some with PAD and some without, to find the best spring setting for reducing pain, fatigue, and effort while walking.
