Research & Clinical Evidence
Clinical research and external cues for gait support
External Cues for Gait Support
Providing visual and auditory cues during freezing of gait may reduce delays in initiating walking.
Visual cues may particularly reduce freezing-of-gait episodes.
With a visual walking cue, the patient may be able to walk independently.

Gait Rehabilitation System
Starting exercise and rehabilitation therapy early may help slow disease progression.
Training to step over continuous lines may help improve spatial awareness.
