Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Does use of the Mobilaser reduce freezing of gait (FOG) and stride reduction in patients with Parkinson's disease and Parkinsonism.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Mobilaser

Patients will begin by collecting data at home without using the mobilaser. They will then be given the mobilaser to use at home for 6 weeks while they collect data on whether their gait has improved. They will then have to return the Mobilaser to the clinic and collect data at home for 3 days to see if there is a difference.
