Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
It is confirmed that walking speed, walking strength, walking stability improve by adjusting the insole wear and thickness of the shoe sole. Image analysis is performed by FDG-PET for brain activity and whole body muscle activity when performing a walking task for 30 minutes. We perform FDG - PET shooting at a time interval of about 1 month, twice in total, walking done in an unstable state and stable walking, and compare and examine.
