Summary

This pilot study tests whether special shoes that vibrate can safely help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait — a sudden inability to move their feet while walking. Researchers will enroll 20 participants to see if the vibration feedback is tolerable and reduces the length of freezing episodes. The goal is to improve mobility and safety without medication.
