Rollz Rhythm - the Parkinson's walker

Helps prevent habituation

The cues can be personalised even more with the Rollz app. Some people might find they stop responding to the same repeating cues due to prolonged exposure to those stimuli. As a countermeasure, the three cues can be mixed via the app to create a new random pattern. The variation and unpredictability prevents habituation.

The app for the Parkinson rollator is available for free on Android and iOS and is very easy to use.

Advanced and smart cue control

Besides changing the speed and cue combination, which can also be done on the Parkinson rollator itself, the app allows you to change the intensity, duration and predictability of the cues as well. These variables can be easily adapted to the user’s preferences.

You can choose to tweak the settings based on their own experience, or in accordance with their rehabilitation program. An OT or physiotherapist can also help adjust the settings to match your personal training goals.

Synchronize it to your smartphone

The app can be used to give the cues in sync with the rollator. While wirelessly connected to the Rollz Motion Rhythm, the smartphone can vibrate and/or play the metronome along with the Parkinson rollator to increase the intensity of the cue.

The cues can be played solely on the smartphone as well. This enables to plug in earphones and to hear the metronome more privately. The user’s surroundings will not notice that cueing is on when this feature is used.

Reverse Brake Option

The Rollz Rhythm can come with regular brakes or reverse brakes. The regular brake means you squeeze the brake to slow down or stop. The reverse brake means it is in brake mode until you squeeze the brake handles to release the brake and move, then let go of the handle for the brake to engage and stop.

MULTIPLE CUES TO BREAK A FREEZE & PACE YOUR WALKING

Parkinson's disease can make it challenging to maintain balance and walk with ease. The Rollz Motion Rhythm Rollator is designed to help individuals with Parkinson's disease improve their mobility and remain independent. One of the unique features of the Rollz Motion Rhythm Rollator is its cues to help your walking.

Three adjustable cues gives you the option of multiple combinations. Each cue can be adjusted to your preference, combined in different ways or deactivated altogether, giving you complete control.

AUDIO

An audio metronome signals the preferred step frequency. The acoustic rhythm contributes to regulating the walking speed.

LASER

A bright green laser line is projected onto the ground to stimulate breaking a freeze and improve the stride's length and walking speed.

VIBRATION

Handles vibrate at the rhythm of the pace. A big advantage of this tactile cue is that it is not noticeable to surrounding people.

These three cues work in harmonyto provide a multi-sensory aid for individuals with Parkinson's disease while walking with the Rollz Rhythm rollator. The audio, vibration, and laser cues all work together to enhance balance and stability, reducing the risk of falls and increasing confidence.
