Monday’s issue of the Star featured an article on research investigating the
cutting edge technology that is, the SMART shoe. This measures weight
distribution and heel strike pressure, both of which can lead to falls in
stroke patients. The feedback provided by the “SMART shoe” can inform a
physiotherapist to provide tailored exercises to the individual to help improve
their balance.The article discusses the shoe in more detail. More information on the project can be found via this website.
