New Sock-Like device aims to stop falls for seniors with 'Wobbly' feet
NCT ID NCT06959277
Summary
This study is testing whether a wearable device called Walkasins can help older adults with nerve damage in their feet (peripheral neuropathy) improve their balance and walking. Researchers will compare 200 participants who use the device daily for six months to a group that does not, measuring changes in balance tests, walking speed, and fall rates. The goal is to see if the device, which provides gentle vibrations to the leg, can help replace lost foot sensation and make daily activities safer.
