Summary
This study tests a wearable device called Walkasins that provides gentle touch-like signals to the ankle to help improve balance and walking in older adults with peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) often caused by type 2 diabetes. 18 participants will wear the device daily for 10 weeks while researchers measure their physical activity, walking ability, and balance confidence. The goal is to see if this sensory feedback can reduce fall risk and increase daily movement.
