Summary
This study tests a device called Walkasins, worn on the legs, that provides gentle vibrations to replace lost foot sensation in older adults. Researchers want to see if it helps people aged 65-95 with numb feet walk more automatically and with less mental effort. The study involves 30 participants and compares walking with the device turned on versus off.
