Summary

This small pilot study tests a smart shoe called NUSHU that provides gentle vibrations to see if it can help people with Parkinson's disease walk faster. Sixteen participants will complete two short walking tests—one with the vibration on and one without—to compare their speed, stride, and safety. The goal is to gather early evidence for future, larger studies.
