Parkinson’s Freezing of Gait Results from a Disconnect Between the Brain and the Body
Freezing of gait is the inability to take the next step. Those living with Parkinson’s describe it as feeling like their feet are glued to the floor. Freezing can manifest as trembling, shuffling of feet, or a complete inability to move at all. Freezing is a leading cause of falls, often resulting in injury and hospitalization, in people with Parkinson's Disease.
Profoundly Effective Sensory Cues Help to Re-establish Neural Connections
The effect of sensory cues, and their ability to positively impact freezing episodes by re-establishing the connection between the brain and the body, has been studied since 1990. NexStride combines the most effective visual and audio cues in one compact device. NexStride attaches to your cane, walker, or walking poles to discreetly and unobtrusively help reduce the duration and frequency of freezing episodes.
