The purpose of this observational study is to test a shoe mounted gait monitoring device that was refined with the input of older adults and assess the efficacy of the refinements through a series of tests that involve walking with and without the device.
In this testing, researchers seek to validate the precision, accuracy and robustness of the community-corefined device with healthy older adults, aged 65 years and above, by conducting walking tests on a state of the art GaitRite gaitmat to assess various gait metrics and on a flight of stairs to assess gait height. Following this, researchers will conduct a semi structured interview that will comprise a series of yes/no questions and open ended questions to understand the efficacy of the refinements and further refinement directions.

| Gait Tracker | Device | Opti Gait is a wearable gait tracker |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in walking speed | Participants will walk 4 meters with and without the shoe mounted device to assess the change in walking speed | 3 hours |
| Change in natural gait | 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. | 3 hours |
| Gait height | Participants will climb a flight of five stairs, wearing the device, to measure gait height. | 3 hours |
