One of the most prevalent genetic diseases in the world is beta thalassemia. Hemoglobin synthesis is decreased by the blood condition beta thalassemia. Patients with thalassemia exhibit a range of bone problems, including as spinal deformities, osteopenia and osteoporosis, as well as growth failure. This study's main goal was to evaluate gait and balance in Albanian B-thalassemia patients. In this study, 18 participants aged 17 to 29 years old (5 males and 13 females) from three distinct epidemiological cities in Albania took part. Gait analysis was performed using “T-T medilogic medizintechnik gmbh†wi-fi insoles. “General Gait Parameters†, results of the “Effective Foot Length, left [%]†parameter mean results [67.59%], reveals approx a 2% difference compared with the relative normative mean [69.7%]. Also, “Effective Foot Length, left [%]†mean results [65.49%], reveals approximately a 3.5% difference compared with the relative normative mean [69.7%]. “General Gait Parameters†, data comparisons revealed statistically significant differences between “is†and “nom.†measurements for the following variables: “Rel Double Step Length†, “Double Step Duration†, “Effective Foot Length Right†and “Width Of Gait Right†(p
