This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing ICanWALK©, a smartphone app designed to teach people how to use walking aids more effectively and safely. You would watch instructional videos on the app and record yourself practicing the skills, then get feedback. The researchers want to see if this app actually helps people feel more confident and balanced when moving around.
Many people use walking aids like canes or walkers, but they may not be using them with the best technique. This treatment aims to fill that gap by providing easy-to-access training that can help improve safety, balance, and confidence in everyday life.

You would be randomly assigned to either learn walking aid techniques through the app or learn breathing skills as a comparison. Over 4 weeks, you'd watch instructional videos and record videos of yourself practicing the skills. At the start and end, you'd complete some simple physical tests (like standing up and walking) and fill out a questionnaire about how confident you feel. Your physical therapist and the research team would also ask what you think about the app's usefulness and ease of use.
