Identifying Risk Factors for Falls in Patients With a High Risk of Fracture Using Connected Insoles (FeetMe Monitor® Device)
France250 participantsStarted 2021-03-25
Plain-language summary
The objective of this study is to determine which gait parameters measured at home using e FeetMe® Insoles are associated with a risk for falls in a patient population suffering from osteoporosis and a higher with high risk of fractures and falls.
Each patient will be asked to go to 3 visits at the Cochin hospital, and to wear the soles after each of these visits during 3 days, at home, to record the data, so that it reflects walking patterns of the patient in his/her daily life and activities.
At the eachvisit, clinical tests to assess fall risk will be performed (Timed Up and Go test, one foot stance, Short Physical Performance Battery and 6 minutes walking test ).
The patients will be supplied with a pair of FeetMe® Monitor Insoles, return home and walking parameters will be recorded for 3 to 10 consecutive days.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

What they're measuring
1
To assess how a walking speed decrease at baseline during a 6MWT as measured by the connected Insoles, connected insoles devices, has an effect on risk of fall in subjects with osteoporosis.
