A Wearable "Balance Booster" - Stepping Closer to the Market

RxFunction Inc.·interventional·Posted Apr 16, 2014·Updated Oct 30, 2018

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Walkasins ON and Walkasins OFF for Distorted; Balance and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 31 participants.

Detailed Summary

The overall goal of this project is to continue development and commercialization of a Wearable Sensory Prosthesis termed Walkasins. The device measures foot pressure through a thin sole insert, developed under National Institute on Aging (NIA) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I funding, and displays pressure information through a vibrotactile feedback array, placed around the lower leg, to help improve balance function. The device can replace lost foot pressure sensation in individuals with peripheral neuropathy who have balance problems.
