Opti Gait Wearable Gait Tracker for Seniors
This study is looking at a wearable device called Opti Gait, which tracks how people walk. Researchers want to see if changes made to the device, based on feedback from older adults, have improved it. You might be able to join if you are 65 or older, can speak and understand English, and can give your consent. You cannot join if you have a recent major mental health condition, a significant medical condition that would make testing risky, or if someone else has power of attorney for you. The study will measure changes in your walking speed, natural walking pattern, and how high you lift your feet when walking, all within 3 hours. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an observational study involving 20 seniors. It is designed to test a device without comparing it to another treatment.
- What's involved
- You will participate in walking tests on a special mat and stairs, and then answer questions in an interview. This will take about 3 hours.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your walking will be measured at 3 hours, and then you will have an interview. No further follow-up is specified.

What this trial measures
- Change in walking speed3 hours
Participants will walk 4 meters with and without the shoe mounted device to assess the change in walking speed
- Change in natural gait3 hours
Participants will walk on a gait mat to assess natural gait, and then will walk on the gait mat wearing the device to assess the change in natural gait. Gait metrics captured by OptiGait will be compared with those captured by GaitRite to understand accuracy and precision.
- Gait height3 hours
Participants will climb a flight of five stairs, wearing the device, to measure gait height.
