Adaptive Auditive Cueing As a Therapy for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson Patients

Biofeedback to Reduce Freezing of Gait in Parkinson Patients - Ceriter/Insole Parkinson Disease (IPD)-1

The first goal of the study is to investigate whether an algorithm can reliably detect Freezing of Gait (FOG) in Parkinson patients based on participant gait data generated by a pressure insole. The second goal is to investigate whether Auditive Cueing (AC) based on such a detection reduces the frequency and length of FOG episodes in those participants.

The study will be conducted per Good Clinical Practice principles.

Inclusion Criteria:

• must have more than 1 FOG episode/day
• must be patient in Ziekenhuis Oost Limburg (ZOL)

Exclusion Criteria:

• not able to speak Dutch
• cannot give informed consent (mental health)
