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.
