ESROP – KMUTT – Assistive Devices for the Elderly (FoG Prediction and Cueing Device)

A common symptom of Parkinson’s Disease is freezing of gait (FoG), which entails that patients freeze while walking and cannot continue to walk. A way to stop the FoG is to prove some sort of external stimulus (cueing). This project entails the creation of a device to detect FoG (based on previous devices) and provide somatosensory cueing to the user in order to manage FoG. This would be built into a smart-watch like device, as an assistive device for the elderly.
