Scientists create High-Tech walking database to improve wearable sensor accuracy
NCT ID NCT07236008
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study aims to collect walking data from 150 healthy adults using both wearable sensors and a high-precision motion capture system. The goal is to create a high-quality dataset that can help train computer algorithms to detect walking events more accurately from wearable devices alone. If successful, this could make gait analysis more accessible and reliable outside of specialized labs.
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 could lead to more accurate and reliable gait analysis using simple wearable devices, making it easier to monitor movement outside the lab.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage data collection study, not a treatment trial. The algorithms developed may not work well in real-world settings or for people with movement disorders.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Healthy subjects with no motor impairments that disrupt the walking pattern. * No history of pain in the lower limbs in the past 6 months. * No history of lower limbs injuries/surgeries in the past 6 months. * Language: Dutch and/or English and/or French speakers. * Age 18-65 years old * Subjects must be able to understand the instructions and to answer questions. Additionally, they should be able to; signal pain, fear, discomfort; give inform consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Persons with comorbidity that could hinder the study (e.g.: unstable cardiovascular system disorders, lung disorders, severe osteoporosis). * Individuals with metal implants or skin conditions that would make sensor or marker placement difficult.
