    Hi Catherine, FES in FOG is emerging but interesting in the little clinical application I have tried. Some of the tech solutions are readily available like treadmill training with overhead harnesses but may be limited by staffing resource. Some of the new robotic devices are much more cost effective so I think there will be many more of them available in public settings in the next 5-10 years.

Tracker

Tracker

The tracker is designed to help you track the amount of time you spend in scheduled exercise each day. Scheduled exercise is activity you have prioritised in your day for health and to help slow your Parkinson’s down. This might include PD Warrior exercise, fast walking, golfing, going to the gym etc. It does not include incidental activity such as housework & gardening (although we hope this increases too). The aim of the tracker is to help you build an exercise habit and to keep you accountable, so try and enter something each day.
At the end of the 10 Week Challenge you can download and review your overall performance.
