Sensing Platform on Shoes Measures Gait to Reduce Falls from Glaucoma
From: Medical Design Technoloy - 10/21/2015

Washington State University researchers have developed a way to carefully
analyze a person's gait with sensors, an innovation that could lead to
reduced falls and injuries in people with glaucoma.

The researchers developed a sensing platform worn on special shoes to
measure, filter and analyze gait information. The research team can detect
and examine specific features of gait, such as step length, equity between
feet and evenness of step. In the clinical trials, researchers are comparing
the gaits of glaucoma patients and control groups.
