Smart insoles could revolutionize MS monitoring at home
NCT ID NCT05781113
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a smart insole and phone app that track walking patterns in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The goal is to see if this wearable device can reliably detect changes in a person's condition during daily life. 90 adults with MS will use the device at home for 6 months while researchers measure how well they stick with the routine and whether doctors find the data useful.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must have a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) based on the McDonald criteria, within an age range of 18 to 60. * The participant must have an Extended Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score at screening less than or equal to 6.5, inclusive. * The participant cohort will include at least 3 participants at each site exhibiting one of the following gait phenotypes: ataxic, hemiplegic and spastic. (Some participants may exhibit more than one phenotype). * The participant cohort will include at least 3 participants at each site with a progressive form of MS. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants that are currently suffering from a musculoskeletal injury (e.g., sprain, fracture, strain, etc.) that limits their ability to use their full range of motion of any joint at the time of recruitment. * Inability to provide informed consent.
