Can a simple belt sensor reliably track stroke recovery?
NCT ID NCT07650331
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a wearable sensor (Baiobit®) can reliably measure walking patterns in stroke survivors. Twenty-two adults who had a stroke walked with the sensor on their lower back, and two evaluators compared the results. The goal is to see if this low-cost device can replace expensive lab equipment for routine gait assessment in rehabilitation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Baiobit® wearable inertial sensor
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a simple wearable sensor is reliable enough to track walking recovery in stroke rehab, making gait analysis more accessible.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage reliability study with only 24 participants. It does not test treatment effects, and results may not apply to all stroke survivors.

Who is studied
The study population consists of a convenience sample of adult stroke survivors receiving outpatient physical therapy and neurorehabilitation care. Participants include individuals with a confirmed diagnosis of either ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, in both subacute and chronic stages (time since onset greater than one month), who retain the functional capacity to ambulate independently on overground surfaces without physical assistance. All participants are recruited from the outpatient facilities of a specialized neurorehabilitation center (Neuron Clinics) located in Madrid, Spain.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * adults aged 18-85 years * confirmed diagnosis of stroke * ability to ambulate (FAC \> 4), regardless of foot-up use * Capacity to walk 10m without stopping and repeat the trials 6 times across the session * Cognitive ability to understand the study instruction and provide written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * clinical instability or acute medical conditions that compromise gait safety * concomitant neurological conditions other than stroke * severe musculoskeletal disorders that interfere with gait analysis * balance or coordination impairments secondary to visual or auditory deficits * recent use of substances or medications that impair bait, balance, or postural control * pregnancy * cognitive or behavioral impairments that prevent the proper performance of the test
