Brief Summary

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

This clinical trial aims to explore the effectiveness and safety of gait improvemen of Neuclare, a science medical device, for patients with Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH) Through methods such as Timed Up \& Go Test (TUG), 10m gait , iNPH grading scale), etc, gait improvement before and after using Neuclare will be evaluated.
