Validation of REEV SENSE biomarkers precision for gait analysis for participants with post-stroke gait impairment

PI/Study Coordinator
Amaury Ciurana, MS, CEO & Co-Founder of REEV

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of the investigational REEV SENSE gait tracker on participants with gait impairment related to a stroke and to compare it with a reference motion capture method. REEV SENSE is intended to quantify the gait characteristics of a subject with a simple procedure adapted to clinical routine use, under the clinical supervision of a trained healthcare professional.

Investigating Pedestrian Experience in Cambridge

PI/Study Coordinator
Brian Anthony, PhD

The purpose of this study is to better understand how pedestrians move through and experience the city and find what factors most determine a pedestrians movement pattern. The study location is in the Immersion Lab to start (MIT.Nano, third floor, Room 12-3207), and the participants will then walk a loop around campus twice.
