Why we know this works!

Using NexStride is a great solution for helping those with Parkinson’s overcome freezing while walking. Nexstride has a laser that points down at the ground as a visual cue of where to step while walking. There is also a metronome that helps the user keep a steady pace while walking. The combination of the laser and the metronome help make walking more automatic, decreasing the number of freezing episodes. It can easily be attached to a mobility device such as a cane, walker, or walking stick and can be adjusted to meet the user's individual needs. Using NexStride is a great way to increase independence and confidence with walking while decreasing the risk of freezing.
