ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a device called the Cionic Neural Sleeve, which is designed to help people improve their walking ability. Researchers want to see if the information about walking patterns (called gait metrics) provided by the Neural Sleeve is accurate when compared to a well-established method using a special pressure-sensitive walkway. This comparison will help determine if the data from the Neural Sleeve can be trusted, which could be very helpful for people using the device. If the metrics are accurate, users can feel confident in using the device to track their walking improvements. If not, it will be important to understand the limitations of the device.

To participate in this study, individuals must be between 22 and 64 years old and able to walk for at least 30 minutes within a two-hour timeframe. Those with certain medical conditions, such as serious leg injuries or specific diseases affecting nerve function, will not be eligible. Participants can expect to take part in assessments that measure their walking patterns while using the Neural Sleeve and will play an important role in helping to improve the device for future users. The study is currently looking for volunteers, and all genders are welcome to participate.
