About this trial

Gait changes in Parkinson's disease are complex, variable, and difficult to detect during short clinic assessments. The aim of this study is to collect gait measurements in Parkinson's patients through sensors in a novel shoe device, NUSHU by Magnes AG. The shoe additionally provides vibrational feedback that can potentially help gait difficulties experienced by Parkinson's patients.
