Summary
This study tested whether a walker that provides visual and auditory cues (lights and sounds) can help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait. Thirty participants walked on a 7-meter path with and without the cueing walker. The goal was to see if the cues improved walking speed and balance.
