Overview

Last updated: 23 July 2024

Heel2Toe is a shoe clip-on device aimed at targeting shuffling and slow movement by providing positive auditory feedback each time the wearer makes a 'good step'.

Each sensor comes with a smartphone mobile app that records the ankle movements during stepping, provides auditory feedback for a good step, summarises the walking performance, and suggests recommendations for improvement.

What the manufacturer says:

- Helps with freezing of gait, slow movement and shuffling

- Automates a physiotherapy gait training strategy: place your heel first when walking

- Developed by physiotherapy professionals and professors from McGill University in Canada, and University of Exeter in the UK
