NCT ID NCT07515157
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether special shoes that light up when you step can improve balance, walking, and reduce fall risk in people over 65. Fifty-two older adults were tested while barefoot, in regular shoes, and in the light-up shoes. The goal was to see if the visual cue from the lights helps with stability.
