A system designed to assist with the therapeutic treatment of subjects who have difficulty in walking, specifically those with a lack of sensation due to nerve damage or amputation, who are unable to tell when the foot makes contact with the floor. The system consists of: 1. A removable insole placed inside the shoe which proportionally senses touchdown. 2. A miniature wireless transmitter which can be worn unobtrusively on the shoe. 3. A miniature wireless receiver with tone generator which feeds an earpiece worn by the user. 4. A separate wireless receiver used by the therapist to monitor the same signal received by the user, in order to facilitate initial set-up and adjustments.
