Summary

This study tests a wearable system called ParkinSense designed to help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait—a sudden inability to move their feet while walking. The study will include 60 participants who will use the device first in a lab and then at home for two weeks. The main goal is to see if the system reduces the amount of time spent frozen during walking.
