Walking Tall is a gait re-training app designed to help people with Parkinson’s walk better and for longer by using audio cueing.
Developed by a biomedical engineer at the University of New South Wales, Australia, the app delivers a rhythmic metronomic beat for three different walking speeds, designed to trigger movement and encourage better walking patterns.
A tendency to freeze won’t disappear, but you can improve control over your freezing. Use a specific strategy or a ‘cue’ to trigger your movement once you’ve frozen.
Freezing can be a common symptom of Parkinson’s. People describe it as feeling like their feet are ‘glued’ to the ground.
