Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if monitoring and providing feedback on the performance of a home-based exercise program using an insole gait analyzer to treat participants who have gait disorder. The investigators also learn about the satisfaction level of this insole type gait analysis system.

The main questions it aims to to answer are:

* What effect does providing monitoring and feedback using an insole-type gait analyzer have on walking patterns?
* How satisfied are the experimental group participants with the use of the insole gait analyzer?

Researchers will compare the experimental group that receives the insole-type gait analyzer with the control group that does not receive it.

Participants will:

* Receive an insole-type gait analyzer and receive training in a home-based exercise program.
* During the 6-week program, participants will wear an insole-type gait analyzer and perform a home-based exercise program.
* The investigators will conduct a satisfaction survey after 6 weeks.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A screening test is conducted after obtaining consent. The screening test assesses whether participants, regardless of their use of assistive devices, can walk independently for more than 10 meters, following an inquiry into their baseline symptoms and signs. Subjects who pass the screening test are randomized into an experimental and a control group, both of which undergo an initial assessment, are provided with information about their current gait status and normal gait and are instructed in a home-based exercise program.

The researcher provides the insole gait analyzers to the experimental group, trains them on how to use them, and instructs them to wear them as much and for as long as possible so that their usage time and gait patterns are recorded. The researcher provides feedback over the phone once a week based on the collected measurement data. The control group was not provided with an insole-type gait analyzer or feedback on their exercise.

At the end of the home-based exercise program after 6 weeks, an exit assessment is conducted, identical to the initial assessment, and the experimental group is asked to rate their satisfaction with the insole gait analyzer.

Measures are taken and recorded when a device malfunction occurs, the use and satisfaction level of the insole-type gait analyzer in the experimental group are analyzed, and evaluation indicators before and after the program for the experimental and control groups are compared.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

1. Overview of study design This is a researcher-led, exploratory clinical study designed with random assignment and lasts for 6 weeks.
2. Experimental group The experimental group wears the insole gait analyzer and is asked to wear the insole gait analyzer as much and as long as possible during outdoor activities. Researchers provide feedback to subjects once a week based on the collected measurement data. After 6 weeks, usability and satisfaction evaluation of the insole type gait analysis system will be conducted.
3. Control group The control group is trained in the same exercise program as the experimental group, but not receives the insole gait analyzers and not receives any exercise feedback.
Primary Study Purpose

HEALTH_SERVICES_RESEARCH

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants
Anonymization is achieved by using the unique number of the insole-type gait analyzer issued to the subject, and data collected through the application will be stored in accordance with the medical device company's security policy and will be discarded after the end of the study, and will be deidentified before being forwarded to the medical device company. De-anonymization is limited to cases where it is necessary in relation to the individual's treatment

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Insole wearing group receiving monitoring and feedback

The experimental group wears the insole gait analyzer and is asked to wear the insole gait analyzer as much and as long as possible during outdoor activities. Researchers provide feedback to subjects once a week based on the collected measurement data. After 6 weeks, usability and satisfaction evaluation of the insole type gait analysis system will be conducted.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Monitoring system using a insole-type gait analyzer

Intervention Type DEVICE

The researcher provides feedback over the phone once a week in accordance with the subjects' amount of exercise and walking level collected only to the experimental group using the insole-type gait analysis system. Check the stability of data collection, and if an abnormality occurs, take action and record it by phone or in person

Control group

The control group is trained in the same exercise program as the experimental group, but not receives the insole gait analyzers and not receives any exercise feedback.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
