High-Tech insoles aim to speed up hip replacement recovery
NCT ID NCT07448792
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special insole that measures foot pressure to help people walk better after hip replacement surgery. 200 adults were split into four groups: some used the smart insole with real-time feedback, some without feedback, some used a different device, and some had standard rehab. The goal was to see if the insole could improve walking and hip function as well as or better than usual care.
