FeetMe® Monitor: Alternative for the Evaluation of Gait Speed After Stroke

FeetMe® Monitor Connected Insoles Are a Valid and Reliable Alternative for the Evaluation of Gait Speed After Stroke

The aim of this study is to validate a smart insoles system in comparison to the gold-standard GaitRite for a pathologic gait. The device evaluate gait parameters in real time thanks to an embedded algorithm based on the processing of inertial measurement unit and 19 sensors signals.

At D0 and D7, the patient is evaluated by both the GaitRite® system and the FeetMe Monitor® system simultaneously. Hemiparetic patients have two measurements 7 days apart. The patient repeats 5 trials at a comfortable speed on the GaitRite® mat while wearing the FeetMe® insoles. Each measurement is repeated by 4 different operators. A total of 20 trials are made by the patient.
