Subjects with Parkinson's d.sease (Pd. often have trouble with ambulation. Some research has shown that aux- iliary cueing in the form of vision, aud.o, or vibration can improve the gait of Pd.patients. We have d.veloped.a new vibratory feed.ack shoe, known as the Pd.hoe, which build. on existing research. This d.vice can mod.late both frequency and.amplitud. of feed.ack for the wearer. It is untethered. and.thus can be worn d.ring d.ily activities. Pressure and.tactor status d.ta are transmitted.wirelessly over a personal area network to a notebook computer. This computer can also control the tactor actuation and.stimulation frequency. This paper d.scribes the d.tails of d.sign and.construction of the Pd.hoe. A preliminary evaluation with four Parkinson's d.sease subjects and.two healthy subjects is includ.d.to show the usability of the d.vice.
