This study is testing if a device called Walkasins can help older adults who have reduced sensation in their feet walk better. Walkasins is a neuroprosthesis (a device that helps nerves work) that provides real-time sensory input by sending vibrations to your lower legs. Researchers want to see if using Walkasins can make walking easier and require less mental effort for people aged 65 to 95. You can join if you are in this age range and don't have certain medical conditions or high blood pressure that would affect walking. Success in this study would mean that people using Walkasins show better walking ability, less mental effort during walking, and more stable walking patterns. The current recruitment status is unclear, and the study plans to enroll 30 participants.
