    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Engineering
    • Assistive Technology
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Traditional canes offer limited functionality beyond weight support.
    • Prolonged cane use can lead to secondary musculoskeletal damage and gait abnormalities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the usability of a novel cane-combined weight support feedback device (CWSFD).
    • To identify areas for improvement and assess user satisfaction with the CWSFD.

    Main Methods:

    • A collet-type CWSFD was attached to a traditional mono cane.
    • Usability testing involved 10 experienced physical therapists (≥20 years).
    • Methods included a satisfaction survey and in-depth interviews.

    Main Results:

    • The CWSFD achieved moderate to high satisfaction across all tested aspects.
    • Interviews indicated a need for reduced device weight.
    • Feedback diversity requires enhancement in the CWSFD.

    Conclusions:

    • The CWSFD shows promise, with identified areas for improvement.
    • Future iterations require reduced weight and varied feedback mechanisms.
    • Further clinical effectiveness studies are necessary for commercialization.
