Shoe-based tech helps amputees get extra mileage out of physical therapy--CES 2015


It looks like Fitbit for feet, but it's actually Google for gait, according to Stacy Bamberg, CEO and founder of Veristride.

Veristride, a small business funded by NSF's SBIR/STTR program, is developing tools to help amputees rehab faster with gait analytics. Wearable insoles pair with walking data analytics to provide people with information about how they walk to improve their performance.

At the 2015 International CES, Bamberg explained how the tech may help people track their biomechanics more accurately.
