Learn How the GaitAid has Helped People with Parkinson's Get Pro-Active and FREE Themselves from Freezing and Falling

By Improving Walking You Regain Independence and Improved Quality of Life


  • Easy to use at home training device
  • A few minutes daily practice can lead to better balance and freedom from freezing
  • Improve mobility - go out and live.

So many people with Parkinson's disease end up fearing new situations and public places because of the fear of freezing. If you look at any Parkinson's disease website you will find some tricks you can do to snap out of freezing like calming yourself, the weight shift method, counting steps, imagining a line to step over etc. There are also products on the market designed to help you unfreeze like the Laser Cane, NextStep, PD Glasses and Agilitas.

These tricks sometimes work but they are not always something you can rely on and they deal with the problem after it has already happened.

The products mentioned can be very helpful but again they deal with the problem after it has happened. Canes can be a life-saver if needed to stop a fall but they have a disadvantage of promoting bad posture, less mobility and dependency.


A New Home Training Tool for Parkinson's


Introducing an easy to use, virtual reality device. The GaitAid is a device you practice walk with for a few minutes every day. The GaitAid superimposes a dynamic checkerboard pattern over the user’s field of vision and provides instant feedback for balance and effective movement.

Claire Sagnières has been using  the GaitAid for over two years. Before that she would freeze and fall over twenty times per day due to Parkinson's disease.

Information for your doctor


Your doctor may have not heard about the GaitAid yet as it is a new product.
Your doctor may have heard of other devices providing visual or auditory cues. The GaitAid is different in that it provides feedback to your own movement.
This feedback is what trains the brain and creates new neural pathways that result in a more balanced gait pattern. The training provides a residual effect meaning walking is improved after walking with the device.

Testimonials about the GaitAid

As soon as I tried it my mobility improved tremendously! For the first time in over a year I am already walking without a cane. I am so impressed and so grateful. — Daniel Neal, Palm Springs, CA,

I even walked around the block this afternoon which I haven't been able to do in many, many months.

I received the GaitAid Walker and my first 2 sessions have been very encouraging. I was able to walk faster than normal and without freezing -- also I walked much more than I'm typically able to do. I even walked around the block this afternoon which I haven't been able to do in many, many months. I am very excited to see what happens in the weeks to come! — Rita Hussung,

From the moment my Dad put it on he stopped freezing.

I ordered the gaitaid for my father. He now calls it his magic box. As soon as he put it on he was able to walk through doorways without freezing. He wore just the audio to play golf and won the round. Is it the sound and video together that might retrain his brain? I am sold on it. We have been telling everyone about it. Dad took it to his last doctor's appointment to show it off. We think it is fantastic. From the moment my Dad put it on he stopped freezing. We took a walk on Thanksgiving with the device on and my Dad actually skipped. I hope you will get my message on the forum also. Thank you for your support and for the GaitAid. — Debra Snook, Carlson, Washington

My walking has improved so much I don’t need to use my scooter

I have gained so much in the past year, My Freezups are now non existent except at times when I am in a large crowd, and my walking has improved so much I don’t need to use my scooter .I still take my cane just for that feeling of security . My coordination in getting dressed has also improved considerably. Two weeks ago Dan and I took a 7-day vacation to Florida and South Alabama where I got to go fishing and walk barefoot on the beach, also caught more fish than Dan. I am so thankful I can now recapture many of the things I have been missing like Travel, Family visits, Fishing, Camping, Shopping, And music. — Jeanne Crace, Hamilton, Alabama
