Diseño, desarrollo e implementación de un dispositivo inalámbrico para detección de episodios de congelamiento de la marcha en pacientes con la enfermedad de Parkinson

Abstract

In this project we developed a non-invasive wireless system, based on free hardware for patients with PD who have episodes of FOG, in order to encourage the walk, to prevent falls and to improve the style of life. This was achieved by placing a device of the sural nerve stimulator near the back of the lower extremities of the patient.
