FoG-Finder: Real-time Freezing of Gait Detection and Treatment.

Freezing of gait is a serious symptom of Parkinson's disease that increases the risk of injury through falling, and reduces quality of life. Current clinical freezing of gait treatments fail to adequately address the fall risk posed by freezing of gait symptoms, and current real-time treatment systems have high false positive rates. To address this problem, we designed a closed-loop, non-intrusive, and real-time freezing of gait detection and treatment system, FoG-Finder, that automatically detects and treats freezing of gait.
