GaitAid Clinical Research

Several clinical studies have been published in peer-reviewed journals including:

  • Neurology
  • Neural Processing Letters
  • Journal of the Neurological Sciences
  • Frontiers in Neuroscience
  • Journal of Novel Physiotherapies
  • Journal of American Geriatrics Society
  • Journal of Rehabilitation Research & Development
  • Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface
  • Acta Neurologica Scandinavica

Clinical studies, published in peer-reviewed neurology journals show, on average, significant improvement for %80 of participants. Improvement lasts well beyond training sessions.
