Measuring walking problems with wearable sensors
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial uses small wearable sensors to measure how you walk while you are in the hospital. It can help doctors better understand and treat walking difficulties.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently staying at the Department of Rehabilitation and Functional Recovery at IRCCS San Raffaele hospital in Milan.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a walking problem diagnosed by a doctor.
- You do not have any skin issues or allergies that would stop you from wearing the sensors.
- You do not have a major heart or breathing problem that makes walking unsafe.
- You are able to understand simple instructions and agree to take part.

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 checks how well commercially available wearable sensors (IMUs) can measure walking problems during a clinic gait analysis. It may help your care team get more accurate information about your walking patterns, falls risk, and fatigue during walking.
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.
This study collects walking and balance data from healthy people to create a reference guide (a 'normative database') for gait analysis. It will help doctors better compare and understand walking patterns in people with medical conditions.
This study uses a smartphone to measure how you walk and compares it with the standard medical measurement. It may help improve future care by making gait analysis easier and more accessible.
This study tests a wearable device that tracks how you walk (gait). It aims to see if the device is easy to use and helpful for older adults. By participating, you could help improve tools that may detect mobility problems early.
