Summary

Despite optimal treatment with medication, people with Parkinson's disease (PD) still experience symptoms and secondary complications. Physiotherapy has long been recognized as one of the leading treatments in PD for slowing progression of the disease and retaining a higher quality of life for longer. Physiotherapy includes, among other things, training motor functions e.g., gait, balance and strength training and encourages physical activity. Exercise is an important part of healthy living for everyone, but for people with PD, exercise is medicine. Studies even suggest that exercise may slow down disease progression. Another way of improving PD motor symptoms, such as festination and freezing of gait (FOG), in a more direct way is by sensory cueing. Cueing is defined as the application of spatial or temporal external stimuli to help initiate, or facilitate gait, and can be presented as acoustic, visual, or tactile stimuli. It has been well known for many years that sensory cueing is effective and there has been extensive research on the topic.

Cue X is a new product developed by Strolll Limited (www.strolll.co) that applies the existing proven principles of exercise and sensory cueing for PD onto augmented-reality (AR) headsets implemented in two modules: movement training and movement assistance. The movement training module is designed to train gait and balance in a gamified manner to maximize training compliance. With this clinical feasibility study, the investigators want to examine the feasibility and potential efficacy of the Cue X movement training module to train gait and balance of people with PD in their home environment.

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

DEVICE

Cue X

The Cue X movement training module includes several games that can be performed in someone's home environment. The games are designed based on known physiotherapy guidelines and evidence for improving motor symptoms for people with PD and delivered in AR. Some of the games also have integrated cueing to allow people with more severe mobility impairments to participate. Feedback of performance can be given using the movement data of the AR headsets.
