Diabetes is one the most common diseases of the adult population in Jordan, with its incidence expected to rise in the coming years. Diabetes has huge economic burden on the health system, mainly due to its several complications, one of which is neuropathy. Recently, researchers in Oxford Brookes University developed gait analysis algorithms that use data obtained from accelerometers in smartphones or inertial measurement units to analyze gait pattern. Our goal is to investigate the potential for using the new gait analysis technology to detect neuropathy-related changes in gait.
  
Motor skills and balance of people with low vision vary with the amount of residual vision and the onset of the impairment. A number of studies tested balance and gait under dual task conditions, adults with low vision exhibited poorer performance than adults with normal vision. In our research we examine gait performance in single and dual task conditions in healthy people and people with low vision.
