NexStride - Portable Audio & Visual Mobility Aid for Parkinson’s, Stroke, Walking Improvement | Laser Light & Sound Cueing Signals | Accessory to Attach to Any Cane, Walker, Walking Pole
NexStride is a unique portable device that puts visual and auditory cues at your fingertips, letting you activate one or both of them on demand, and adjust them for maximum effectiveness. It helps you to be more independent, self-reliant and active by overcoming walking difficulties that can result from Parkinson’s, a stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, a motor vehicle accident, or age-related frailty.
The auditory cue is a metronome. The beat lets the brain form the intention to move in time with it, rather than simply walking, letting you keep a consistent walking speed, navigate turns and adjust for varied terrain. The visual cue is a green laser line, which is projected on the ground, just ahead of the feet. This creates the goal of stepping over or past the line, instead of simply moving forward, and allows you to keep a long, symmetrical step length.
Attached to your preferred walking aid — a rollator, walker, cane or walking poles — NexStride allows you to use cues to overcome movement challenges, including avoiding Parkinson’s freezing of gait, and breaking a freeze.
At 4.2x2x1.5in and weighing just 6oz, NexStride is compact and discreet, conveniently locating the easy to press on/off buttons right next to your hand. Rechargeable battery gives 6-8 hours continuous use and it’s easy to set up — just attach it to your walking aid, and go.
No online registration, phone app, or bluetooth needed. Simple and portable. Can easily move from one walking aid to another.
