Parkinson's disease (PD) is often associated with a vast list of gait-associated disabilities, for
which there is still a limited pharmacological/surgical treatment efficacy. Therefore …

This paper describes the second part of the PASSO (Parkinson smart sensory cues for older
users) project, which designs and tests an innovative haptic biofeedback system based on a …

Recent advances in mobile technology have shown that augmented unisensory feedback
can be leveraged to improve gait using wearable systems, but less is known about the …

Auditory and visual cues have been efficacious in laboratory-based freezing of gait (FoG)
mitigation in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, real-life applications of these cues are …

Previously, studies reported that falls analysis is possible in the elderly, when using
wearable sensors. However, these devices cannot be worn daily, as they need to be …

Background. External cues are effective in improving gait in people with Parkinson's disease
(PD). However, the most effective cueing method has yet to be determined. Objective. The …

Purpose Several studies use force sensitive resistors (FSR) to compute gait and balance
parameters related to falls without investigating the number of sensor units required to …

Objective: Auditory and visual cues have been shown to be efficacious in laboratory-based
freezing of gait (FoG) mitigation in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the real-life …

Purpose. As the instrumented insole is available for a wide commercial range in the retail
trade, this study aims to reduce its overall cost using fewer sensors by carrying out an …

Objective: Over the past decade, the research community has made major advances in
technologies for detecting risk of falling in elderly, which led to assistive systems that can …
