What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This observational study aims to explore the use of the DANU Smart Socks for gait and balance assessment in people with Parkinson's (PwP). The study will compare walking and balance outcomes produced by DANU from people with Parkinson's (PwP) and a group of healthy individuals of similar age. The project aims to investigate if the gait and balance data collected are linked to measures of Parkinson's symptoms such as disease progression and cognitive abilities. Gait and balance outcomes will be obtained through one observational laboratory visit.
