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 uses a wearable sensor to track how well people move over a year. It may help researchers understand mobility and how different movement conditions affect walking and daily function.
This study tests a wearable tracker that monitors how you walk (your gait). It aims to see if the device is easy and helpful for older adults to use in daily life.
This trial tests whether using a wearable robotic device at home can improve walking ability in people who have had a stroke. If you have trouble walking due to a stroke, this study may help you regain strength and mobility.
