Noraxon myoRESEARCH™ Software Gait Analysis Evaluation and Orthotic Gait Correction in Reducing Diabetic Foot Ulceration Or Subsequent Amputation in Patients With a History of a Diabetic Foot Ulceration

DEVICE

Noraxon myoRESEARCH™ Software Gait Analysis Evaluation and Orthotic

Physical therapy evaluation (range of motion, strength, mobility, scale). Noraxon based gait assessment on treadmill while barefoot and with instrumented inner soles. Over ground walking assessment (with wireless instrumented inner soles, observational gait analysis while climbing stairs, ramps, curbs). Noraxon gait assessment and walking on treadmill will be video recorded for assessment. Standard measure of functionality and 6 minute walk test will be conducted. Patient will be fitted with corrective orthotics, based on usual care. Physical therapy re-evaluation. Noraxon based gait assessment and foot assessment (any areas of irritation, callus formation, swelling, ulcer formation, and gait mobility irregularities will be monitored and reassessed) throughout the study.

Number of re-ulceration occurrences

Time frame: One year

Number of re-ulceration occurrences will be assessed to determine the rate of re-ulceration in patients.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
