About

The purpose of this observational study is to test a shoe mounted gait monitoring device that was refined with the input of older adults and assess the efficacy of the refinements through a series of tests that involve walking with and without the device.

Full description

In this testing, researchers seek to validate the precision, accuracy and robustness of the community-corefined device with healthy older adults, aged 65 years and above, by conducting walking tests on a state of the art GaitRite gaitmat to assess various gait metrics and on a flight of stairs to assess gait height. Following this, researchers will conduct a semi structured interview that will comprise a series of yes/no questions and open ended questions to understand the efficacy of the refinements and further refinement directions.
