App training to improve walking aid skills
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests an app-based program meant to help people who already use walking aids learn and practice safer walking aid skills. It may help you move more comfortably if you can use the app and communicate with the study team.
