U.S., Sept. 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07151352) titled 'Footwear and Brain Activity in Children' on Aug. 15.
Brief Summary: Childhood is a critical period for neuromotor development, during which footwear may influence both gait biomechanics and the integration of sensory and motor control processes. This study will aim to analyze brain activity in children aged 6-7 years while walking under three conditions: barefoot, in barefoot-style (minimalist) shoes, and in conventional shoes with heel drop.
A quasi-experimental, repeated-measures study will be conducted, in which each participant will complete a 10-meter walking task under the three conditions, in randomized order. Brain activity...
