GaitAid: Improving Walking in Movement Disorders

Helping People with Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke, Cerebral Palsy and More

“Within weeks of using the GaitAid, I went from needing a cane to walking freely. It gave me my independence back.”
– Daniel Neal, Palm Springs, CA

Real Results Backed by Research

Key research findings include:

Reduced freezing of gait
Improved stride length and walking rhythm
Enhanced balance and posture
Development of new neural pathways to control movement

GaitAid has been the subject of several peer-reviewed clinical studies that demonstrate its effectiveness. Research published in leading journals such as Neurology, Frontiers in Neuroscience, and the Journal of Rehabilitation Research & Development showed that %80 of participants improved their walking ability and balance with the GaitAid. About 80% of participants experienced significant improvements, often lasting well beyond the training sessions themselves.

How the GaitAid Works

Listen to a conversation explaining how the GaitAid works

GaitAid Glasses: The GaitAid device consists of a lightweight control unit (phone) and specialized display glasses that provide users with visual and auditory feedback. These cues help users adjust their stride and walking rhythm by simulating stepping over tiles while hearing synchronized sounds. This feedback mechanism helps the brain re-establish internal control over movement, enabling more fluid and confident walking.

GaitAid NeuroSonics App: Bringing the GaitAid audio feedback to modern phones as an app. The app provides auditory feedback as you walk, helping you train and refine your movements.

Wearable and non-intrusive: Place the control unit (phone) under your belt, use headphones or the glasses which are comfortable and easy to use.
Flexible: The GaitAid can be used indoors or outdoors, with both visual and auditory feedback or with just audio alone.
Short, daily practice: Users typically practice for 20 – 30 minutes daily, leading to noticeable improvements after just a few sessions.
