Wearable sensors could revolutionize how doctors assess stair climbing

NCT ID NCT06999850

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether wearable sensors can accurately measure how people climb stairs. Researchers will compare sensor data to traditional stopwatch timing in healthy volunteers and people with conditions like cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, and stroke. The goal is to see if this technology can provide more detailed information to help doctors assess movement problems.
