| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of Time in FoG PTF | We hypothesise that the delivery of continuous sensory electrical stimulation will reduce the percentage of time in FoG. | At time of intervention (seconds) |
| Number of FoG episodes occurring | We hypothesise that the delivery of continuous sensory electrical stimulation will reduce the Number of FoG episodes Occurring (NFO). | At time of intervention (seconds) |
