AdapGAIT – Study on Preliminary Safety and Efficacy of Adaptive DBS Aligned to Locomotor States to Improve Locomotor Functions in Parkinson’s Patients
This study explores whether adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) can safely and effectively improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson’s disease. Unlike standard DBS, which delivers constant stimulation, aDBS adjusts therapy in real time based on recorded brain activity. The goal is to address gait and mobility issues that current treatments cannot adequately improve.
Novel Shoe Device NUSHU to Measure Gait Analysis in Parkinson’s Patients
Gait changes in Parkinson’s disease are complex and often missed during brief clinic visits. This study uses the innovative NUSHU smart shoe by Magnes AG, equipped with sensors to capture detailed gait measurements. The shoe also delivers gentle vibrational feedback, which may help ease walking difficulties in people with Parkinson’s disease.
Smartshoes for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease
This pilot study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and potential benefit of NUSHU provides vibration feedback for reducing freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease.
The study is conducted at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, United States, 94305.
NUSHU R
E!1470 NUSHU R is our latest European project in collaboration with DeepBlue and E BRI ( European Brain Research Institute by Rita Levi-Montalcini). E!1470 NUSHU R is an Eureka Eurostars project running for 2 years starting September 2022. We are looking forward to a successful collaboration with our Italian partners and cannot wait to share more updates on the project’s outcome with the world.
