Feasibility and Preliminary Effects of the Walking Tall App for Home-Based Gait Training in Parkinson's Disease: A Pilot Study

Testing the Walking Tall App for Parkinson's gait training at home.

Phase N/A

This study tests the *Walking Tall* app for people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder that affects movement, causing shaking and stiffness. The app helps users improve how they walk by giving rhythmic sounds and motivational messages. The study lasts 6 weeks, with participants using the app for walking sessions at home 4-5 times a week. They wear a special sensor to track their steps and walking time. Researchers want to see if the app is easy to use, if people stick to using it, and if it helps them walk better. Key Points:

  • Participants will use the app 4-5 times a week for 6 weeks.
  • The study involves wearing a sensor to track walking for a total of 14 days.
  • The goal is to see if the app helps improve walking and if participants like using it.

Eligible participants must have PD, be able to walk independently, and be enrolled in a rehab program at Ezra LeMarpe in Israel. They shouldn't have other conditions that affect walking or be in other studies. This could help create better tools for people with PD in the future.
