A stooped posture is one of the characteristic motor symptoms of patients with Parkinson's disease, and has been linked to impairments in ADL and QOL. We aimed to test the efficacy, safety, practical utility and user-friendliness of a posture correction and vibrotactile trunk angle feedback device (the UpRight) in the home setting of patients with Parkinson's disease with a stooped posture.
The subjects will be asked to arrive at the Gait laboratory for Mobility Research at Tel Aviv Medical Center. After a detailed explanation of the research procedure and after signing the consent form, they will be introduced to the UPRIGHT GO device. Participances will practice operating and placing the device on the body.
With the device attached to upper back, a number of short clinical tests will be performed:
Complete demographic questionnaires and medical history
Walking tests and balance:
Upon completion of the tests, the UPRIGHT device will be delivered for use and exercise for 2 months. Physiotherapist will guide to maintain the devices (such as charging devices and connecting to power).
At the end of the training period, the participans will be invited again to Gait Lab for post tests.
