Can a new shoe design keep seniors on their feet?
NCT ID NCT07366424
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a new shoe called CHUT OTONOM® can improve walking and lower the risk of falls in people aged 65 and older who have fallen at least once in the past six months. Participants will walk with their own shoes and then with the study shoes so researchers can compare speed, balance, and stride. The goal is to see if better footwear can help prevent future falls.
