Wearable Technology to Assist Gait and Mobility in Older Adults
This study is looking at whether a small wearable ankle device called Accelera can help improve how older adults walk and move. You might be able to join if you are 65 or older, live at Jefferson's Ferry Independent Living, use a device to help you move around, and can walk and stand on your own. The study will involve wearing the Accelera device and repeating some walking and balance tests. Researchers will compare your mobility before and after wearing the device to see if it makes a difference. This is an observational study, meaning researchers will watch and record information without giving specific treatments, and it plans to include 20 participants. The current status of the study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is a pilot, observational study involving 20 volunteers. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
- What's involved
- You will complete a questionnaire, perform three CDC-recommended mobility tests, wear the Accelera device for about 30 minutes, and then repeat the mobility tests and questionnaire, all within a single study session.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your participation will be from enrollment to the end of a single study session.

What this trial measures
- Performance on mobility/gait assessments and subjective evaluation by participantfrom enrollment to the end of the single study session for that participant
Performance on 3 CDC STEADI tests (timed up and go, chair stand, and 4 point balance test) and mobility as assessed by an optional app and subjective participant assessment on a questionnaire.
