Feasibility of an In-shoe Sensor to Deliver Propulsion Biofeedback during Gait

Post-stroke hemiparesis and diabetic peripheral neuropathy commonly result in reduced propulsion during gait, measured as anterior ground reaction force (AGRF). Reduced propulsion results in decreased step length and gait speed. The loadsol ® is an in-shoe sensor that can provide clinical gait analysis and gait biofeedback. Our objective is to examine the feasibility of forefoot loadsol® biofeedback to increase AGRF in able-bodied participants.
