Summary
This study tested a wireless insole device (Loadsol) in 58 people who had hip or knee replacement surgery. The goal was to see if the device could accurately measure how much weight they put on their leg while walking and if giving feedback could help improve their walking symmetry. The study was completed and focused on evaluating the technology, not on providing a new treatment.
