Visual cueing using laser shoes reduces freezing of gait in Parkinson's patients at home
Funding agencies: This research was funded by the Hersenstichting for Murielle U. Ferraye (project F2015(1)-21) and by a European Community‘s Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2012 under Grant 316639 to Claudia Barthel. The institution Radboud University Medical Center (Radboudumc) does not have any conflict of interest related to the self-developed laser shoes as they appear in the present article. A London-based company developed a more customer-friendly version of the laser shoes, and Radboudumc is currently discussing the possibility of receiving a financial interest in this commercial version of the laser shoes, where part of the interests will be redistributed to M.U. Ferraye.
Relevant conflicts of interests/financial disclosures: Nothing to report.
