Description
Lisa Maurer and her team asked if special insoles help people with Parkinson's disease walk more safely, in two thousand twenty-four. The disease often makes walking unsteady and raises the risk of falls. The insoles aim to boost feel in the foot and steady the step.
Sixteen people with the disease walked while wearing the special insoles and plain insoles in turn. The team timed their steps, tracked brain waves, and asked how steady they felt. None of the gains reached a level the team could trust. Step speed and length did not change in a clear way. The authors say the group was too small to settle the question, and longer studies are needed.
