Summary

Gait changes in Parkinson's disease are complex, variable, and difficult to detect during short clinic assessments. The aim of this study is to collect gait measurements in Parkinson's patients through sensors in a novel shoe device, NUSHU by Magnes AG. The shoe additionally provides vibrational feedback that can potentially help gait difficulties experienced by Parkinson's patients.

Conditions

• Parkinson's Disease (PD)

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	NUSHU shoe	The NUSHU shoe, created by Magnes AG, can measure real-time detection of gait analysis while providing vibrotactile stimulus to the study participant through machine learning sensors. This may provide a feedback mechanism that acts as therapy for gait difficulties.
