Page updated: 6 February 2025

A wearable device created to help you maintain a more fluid and stable gait using a discreet vibrational cueing system.

Designed to be worn on the leg, the gaitQ Tempo can be placed under clothing and uses vibrational sensory cues to prompt the user to walk more smoothly and overcome freezing episodes.

The vibrational cues are applied directly to the leg, providing subtle and gentle prompts to encourage a more regular pace of walking.
