Can Real-Time feedback rewire walking in diabetic nerve damage?
NCT ID NCT05965336
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study compares walking patterns between people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes) and healthy adults. It also tests whether giving people real-time feedback on their walking form can immediately change how they walk. The goal is to understand the biomechanical differences and explore whether feedback-based training could improve mobility and reduce foot injury risk.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could point toward simple, feedback-based walking training to improve mobility and reduce foot injury risk in people with diabetic nerve damage.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, small observational and feasibility study (50 participants). It is not designed to prove a treatment works, and any benefits seen may not apply to all patients.
