The Influence of Vibrotactile Stimulation on Self-selected Walking Speed in People With Parkinson's Disease
Sponsor: Magnes AG
Summary
The study tests whether a smart shoe (NUSHU) that provides vibrotactile stimulation can improve walking speed in people with Parkinson's disease. Sixteen participants complete two short walking tests-with and without vibration-to compare gait speed, cadence, stride length, usability, and safety. It is a low-risk pilot study meant to generate first evidence for future research.
