NCT ID NCT07220707
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests a small ankle bracelet that uses gentle vibrations to see if it can improve walking and balance in older adults. Twenty volunteers aged 65 and older who use a walking aid will do simple mobility tests before and after wearing the device. The goal is to find out if this wearable technology can make daily movement safer and easier.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Accelera stochastic resonance wearable device (ankle bracelet)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, non-drug way to help older adults walk more steadily and reduce fall risk.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (20 people) with no control group, so results may not be reliable or generalizable. The device may not improve mobility at all.
