This rollator walker is meant for people living with specific neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s. Multiple stimuli are available to help the user take the first step, make subsequent steps, or maintain a walking rhythm.
The stability of the Rollz Motion Rhythm prevents falls that could occur due to balance problems. In addition, the cues overcome freezing or festinating gait patterns. A projected laser line could help to trigger the user to break a freeze. A metronome or the repeating vibration in the handles can further help to set the walking pace".
Multiple cues to break a freeze
Laser
A green laser line is projected onto the ground to stimulate breaking a freeze and improve the stride's length and walking speed.
Sound
A metronome signals the preferred step frequency. The acoustic rhythm contributes to regulating the walking speed.
Vibration
Handles vibrate at the rhythm of the pace. A big advantage of this tactile cue is that it is not noticeable to surrounding people.
Keep on walking
Used in rehabilitation programs
This versatile rollator walker can be used by physiotherapists and other professionals supporting patients rehabilitating from neurological or mobility-impacting injuries. This includes people who have been in a coma, people living with Multiple Sclerosis, or other neurological conditions that require extra support to (re-learn how to) walk.
