published in _PLoS ONE_. Gait deterioration can lead to falls and increased dependency, and is one of the most debilitating symptoms of PD. To overcome these limitations, Michael Hove,
Yoshihiro Miyake and colleagues now used an interactive auditory stimulation system, called 'WalkMate', which comprises pressure sensors in the shoes and a real-time computer
system that uses nonlinear oscillators to track and adapt to an individual's gait. “Basically, the metronome will speed up or slow down based on a person's footsteps, which, in
turn, affects the person's gait timing,” explains Hove. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe
