A stroke is a "brain attack". It can happen to anyone at any time. It will not be comfortable when brain cells are deprived of oxygen and begin to die. Once that happens, patients’ abilities controlled by that area of the brain such as memory and muscle control are lost. It may cause different levels of balance and sensory problems. Insole X can help clinical diagnosis and assessment of stroke, it’s a portable gait analysis system for daily gait monitoring. With advanced algorithms, Insole X can measure foot movement data like cadence, stride length and turning angle for better rehabilitation.

Each gait cycle consists of two phases, where both feet are in contact with the ground, called Double Support. The first Double Support is also called ‘Load Response’, whereas the second is called ‘Pre Swing’. When only one foot is in contact with the ground, this is called Single Support.

Compatible with iOS or Android devices, Insole X works by integrating fabric sensor-embedded array and advanced algorithms. Real-time sensor measurements are streamed to the companion software. The sensor-embedded inserts fit inside any running or walking shoes. They are so comfortable, you won't even realize they're inside the shoe. The cloud service allows for simple data accessibility. Data can be pulled for a given session or data range and can be exported in multiple formats. Collect sensor measurements on a session basis, you are ready to go. After configuring settings for the paired device, you can push data to the Insole X Cloud infrastructure for additional processing and storage.

Gait symmetry is related to energy expenditure, we can say the most efficient gait pattern is a symmetrical gait. Individuals with stroke tend to have higher energy expenditures and extremely low ambulatory activity levels compared with healthy people. For better gait rehabilitation, Insole X can monitor their daily activities and assess the effects of physical therapy with detailed gait analysis reports.
