Smart socks and wrist trackers: the future of stroke rehab?

This study tests whether using wearable devices and a smartphone app can help stroke survivors improve their walking and daily activity during a 6-week home exercise program. About 120 adults who can walk but have some disability will be split into two groups: one uses the wearable system (a smart insole, activity tracker, and app), and the other does the same exercises without the gadgets. The goal is to see if the technology boosts physical and mental function, and how satisfied users are with it.
