NexStride

NexStride is a small, easy-to-use device that attaches to any walker, cane, or walking poles. It uses auditory and visual cues by means of a laser line and metronome to re-establish an effective connection between the brain and body. The auditory signal is a metronome that activates the brain to move the body in time with the beat, enabling you to keep a consistent walking speed, navigate turns and adjust for varied terrain. The visual signal is a green laser line projected on the ground in front of the feet, that triggers the goal-oriented part of the brain, enabling you to step over the line and take longer, healthier steps. These evidence-based cues have been shown to reduce fall risk and improve mobility and independence. Easy to set up, NexStride attaches to your preferred walking aid (rollator, walker, cane or walking poles) and allows you to use the signals on demand to overcome movement challenges, including avoiding Parkinson's freezing of gait, and breaking a freeze. No online registration, phone app, or Bluetooth required. The rechargeable battery gives 6-8 hours continuous use.
