Shoe-based tech helps amputees get extra mileage out of physical therapy - CES 2015

The video discusses a project funded by the NSF aimed at helping amputees walk with less of a limp. The focus is on developing wearable insoles and advanced analytics to improve gait symmetry and overall walking quality. The technology involves measuring walking data using accelerometers and gyros, transforming it into meaningful insights for patients, therapists, and clinics. The project highlights the social and medical importance of improving gait, as well as the technical challenges involved. The NSF grant has been crucial for development, and future plans include fundraising for market expansion.
