Summary
This early study tests a new shoe insert called Flash-Sole that uses soft materials and electrical signals to gently assist ankle movement during walking. Up to 15 healthy adults aged 19 to 45 will walk on a treadmill with the device turned on and off to see if it is safe, comfortable, and works as intended. The goal is to gather feedback and improve the device for future studies.
