Description
YongPing Yao asks families and doctors what they want from smart ankle braces for kids with cerebral palsy. The 2026 survey ran in Sichuan Province, China. It drew 95 families and 39 health workers from many sites. Smart braces may help kids walk, but makers need to know which needs count most.
Families put steady walking first. Ease of putting the brace on and off came next. Health workers cared most about gait tracking and fall warnings. Both sides prized safety, comfort, and home use. Richer homes asked more for tracking and ease of use. Yao urges makers to blend family needs with clinic goals and to watch price bars in poor areas.
