ParkinSense System for Parkinson's Disease
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the ParkinSense system, a customizable, multimodal, and adaptable cueing system, can assist with freezing of gait (FOG) in patients with Parkinson's disease. The main question it aims to answer is: is the percent of time spent frozen reduced when using the system compared to not using the system? Participants will be asked to take part in a single-visit laboratory study where they will wear the system in a controlled environment, followed by a two weeks of home use.

Experimental Treatment
Participants will perform the FOG-inducing protocol first wearing the ParkinSense instrument, and then again without wearing it. During the home study, participants will first wear the ParkinSense instrument for one week, and then not wear the ParkinSense instrument for one week.
Participants will perform the FOG-inducing protocol first without wearing the ParkinSense instrument, and then while wearing the system. During the home study, participants will first not wear the ParkinSense instrument for one week, and then wear the ParkinSense instrument for the second week.
