Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to characterize the biomechanical effects of the X10D sole using objective, quantitative measurement methods.

The walking pattern of many people is becoming increasingly passive, and the muscles of the feet and legs are getting weaker. The X10D shoe is an adapted shoe designed to make walking more active and dynamic again.

This study investigates the detailed biomechanical effects of the X10D shoe on the walking pattern of healthy participants. For this purpose, walking with the X10D shoe will be compared with (1) walking in a control shoe with a neutral sole and (2) walking in the participants' everyday sports shoes.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

X10D shoe

Intervention Type DEVICE

In this study, we assess the immediate and long-lasting (3-4 weeks) effects of the X10D shoe on a comprehensive battery of biomechanical parameters during various forms of walking. This will be the first study to provide a detailed characterization of the effects of the X10D shoe on diverse walking parameters in healthy individuals aged 50 to 65 years.
