What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the usefulness of an insole-type gait analyzer in adults who experience subjective gait and balance disorders. The study focuses on how well this device collects gait data from patients with walking disturbances, aiming to explore the data's clinical value without using a control group. This trial is sponsored by Yonsei University and includes adults aged 19 and older who report gait or balance issues. Participants will wear the insole-type gait analyzer while performing the Timed Up and Go test, which measures walking speed and balance. Before this, they will complete a history survey, a sarcopenia screening questionnaire, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The insole device records data from accelerometers and pressure sensors to detect missing or unusual readings and to explore optimal data collection and analysis methods. During the study, participants will be assessed through baseline tests including the Timed Up and Go test (lasting about 5 minutes), the Korean version of the Sarcopenia Screening Questionnaire (about 1 minute), and the Korean version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (about 3 minutes). Researchers will monitor the quality of data collected from the insole during walking and analyze it for clinical significance. The total participation timeline depends on these assessments and data evaluations.
