WALK
Wearable Assistive Device
WALK reduces freezing of gait, slowness and falls in Parkinson's Disease. It uses muscle stimulation to improve coordination while walking. Through onboard sensors, WALK collects data and tracks symptoms that may lead to falls, enabling individuals to stay active in their everyday lives without stigma or the fear of falls

How does WALK work?
WALK uses muscle stimulation, delivered through a specialised form of vibration, to improve walking and balance.
Difficulties in walking and balance in Parkinson’s disease arise from cell loss in the Basal Ganglia, a part of the brain responsible for voluntary movements. This creates a disruption in communication from the Basal Ganglia to the spinal cord and onwards to the muscle. Patterned muscle stimulation has been shown to reduce the effect of this disruption and elicit walking-like patterns.
