Automated Mechanical Peripheral Stimulation to Treat Freezing of Gait in Patients With Parkinson's Disease and STN-DBS

The Gondola device is composed of two units, one per foot, each having two motors that activate rounded stimulation tips that interact with the target points. It delivers mechanical, pressure-based stimulations, sequentially in each of the four points, for the duration of 6 seconds per point. This treatment cycle is repeated 4 times, for an overall treatment duration of less than 2 minutes
