Walking and Balance Study Using a Smart Insole
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a special insole you put in your shoe to measure how you walk. It is for adults who feel their walking or balance is not as good as it used to be. The goal is to learn more about walking patterns so doctors can help people like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years old or older.
- You feel like your walking or balance is not as good as it used to be.

This study tests a home-based walking therapy program using special shoe insoles that track your child's walking patterns. The goal is to see if it helps improve walking in children with cerebral palsy.
This study measures brain and nerve “biomarkers” to understand how Parkinson’s affects walking and balance. It may help researchers identify signs that relate to gait problems, and participants with a specific implanted stimulator may be able to take part in testing with stimulation turned off.
This study looks at how multiple sclerosis affects balance, walking patterns, and movement. Researchers will use motion analysis to understand changes, which could help improve treatments.
This study checks if a special smart insole can detect changes in walking after a spinal tap test for people with suspected Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH). If you have walking problems and are considering a spinal tap, this trial might help find better ways to measure your response.
This study tests a special insole that measures how you walk, compared with a high-tech walking lab. It's for people with stroke, spinal cord injury, or brain injury who can walk on their own for 6 minutes.
This trial is testing a new smart insole that tracks your body's signals while you walk. You'll visit the study center once a week for 4 weeks to test the insoles.
