About this trial

The majority of people with Parkinson's disease incur Freezing of Gait (FoG), which is not addressed adequately by medication. Cueing is a proven strategy to overcome FoG. The Cue2Walk is a device with automated detection of FoG and provision of rhythmic cues. In this study, the (cost-)effectiveness of the Cue2Walk device as compared to usual care is investigated.
