Summary

This study tests whether a smartphone app called ICanWALK can teach people to use walking aids like crutches, canes, and walkers more safely. Researchers will enroll 52 adults who use a walking aid most of the time due to a leg injury, stroke, or multiple sclerosis. Participants will be split into two groups: one uses the app, the other receives standard care. The study measures balance, mobility, pain, and falls to see if the app improves walking skills and confidence.
