GaitQ
Parkinson's disease affects the internal motor control pathways in the brain, particularly those controlling automatic movement and can cause people with Parkinson’s to experience gait-freezing, an involuntary and sudden inability to walk.
GaitQ
GaitQ is developing a smart, wearable device aimed at restoring mobility in people with Parkinson's through overcoming gait-freeze by providing an external stimulus (cueing) to move when a freeze is detected.
GaitQ
OPD worked with GaitQ to develop early design concepts and prototypes of a reliable, discreet, and user-friendly wearable gait measurement device for use in early-stage consumer usability tests.
Data collected using the gaitQ system will accurately reflect the episodes of gait symptoms and walking quality over time to track disease progression.
