A team at Arizona State University is working on a wearable device designed to help people with Parkinson’s disease overcome sudden freezing episodes. “Individuals with Parkinson’s experience what’s called Freezing of Gait, which is essentially their feet feel like they’re freezing up in the middle of their walk,” explained computer science doctoral student [at ASU] Arash Tadayon.
