Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate counting steps by connected soles worn in the shoes of subjects, having recovered the maximum walking capacities of patients . To answer the question asked in the study, it is planned to include 60 patients over 70 years of age.

Description:

The main objective of this interventional, monocentric, transverse, nonrandomized and prospective study is to assess the concordance of step counting between connected soles and video, in elderly subjects hospitalized in Follow-up and rehabilitation care, at Paul Brousse hospital, having recovered maximum walking capacities of participants, on 10 meters.

After inclusion, following data will be collected : Measure blood pressure, heart rate, neurological and cardiological exam, pneumological exam, Short Physical Performance Battery Score

Feetme connected soles comply with European standards (CE label no. 29762). The study will consist of 10-metre walk for patient during a rehabilitation session :

• By wearing the soles connected to patient's size (in patient's usual shoes). The recording of data will be triggered by an investigator, via an application downloaded on a smartphone. The application will trigger and stop the registration of soles.

• While being filmed by a camcorder mounted on a tripod (excluding the face) for footsteps.

The test will be filmed (excluding the face) to avoid a measurement bias in counting steps. Two physician observers will view each patient's film in a second time in order to perform the step count.

Before starting the walk, an on-site observer will ensure that the footings are set to 0 for counting step and that the recording is stopped after 10 metres.

If this is deemed possible by the referring physiotherapist, the same protocol will then be carried out over 30 meters (new test: the patient who can do it will perform 40 meters in total (10 meters then test of 30 meters).

Intervention

Device:
• Feetme Connected Soles
Walk for 10 meters (and 30meters): By wearing the European Community (EC) labelled connected soles in patient's shoes, triggered by smartphone- collection of data by smartphone By being filmed by a camera camera mounted on a tripod (excluding the face) for steps counting (2 observers). If there is a technical problem during the walk test, this one can be performed 1 time again 1 hour after initial test.This is expected to happen very rarely.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Assessment of steps number to cover the distance of 10 meters according connected soles	The main evaluation criterion is the number of steps taken by the patient to travel the distance of 10 meters. A ground marking will be done using a tape meter to highlight the distance of 10 meters.The number of steps will be counted using the connected soles and video. The soles count the step thanks to the foot pressure and the data are collected on smartphone. A video will be recorded simultaneously (fluted face) during the walk.	3 days
Secondary	Assessment of steps number to cover the distance of 30 meters according connected soles and video		3 days
Secondary	Assessment of soles comfort according Likert scale		3 days
