Company:Walk With Pathopens in new tab
Page updated: 6 February 2025
Path Finder is a shoe clip-on device designed to help people with freezing of gait using visual cueing.
The cue, present as a green laser line, helps the brain initiate your movement and helps you resume walking.
Freezing can be a common symptom of Parkinson’s. People describe it as feeling like their feet are ‘glued’ to the ground.
Lois Rosenthal describes how her fascination with rhythmic cues for freezing of gait, and reflects on her experience as a first-time researcher.
A tendency to freeze won’t disappear but you can improve control. Use a specific strategy or ‘cue’ once you’ve frozen.
