What is freezing of gait?
Freezing of gait is defined as the sudden onset of immobility; inhibiting the ability to walk. It is often described as feeling as though your feet are ‘glued to the floor.’

Tonight I walked in to the parish hall, to our table laser assisted. After dinner I walked out to the car. About 100’ each way!!! That is the first time I have been able to do that in a year!!!
The Nexstride gives me a sense of freedom, I'm not waiting around the house for my wife to come help me. It really makes a difference. That's been a big change for me. If I want to go into another room, I'm not waiting, I can get up and go do it.
My wife hops up and is ready to go with the Nexstride. Before, she would freeze up, get the walker out in front of her, and she would fall down. She had zero falls with the Nexstride!
The Nexstride is working beautifully. She uses the word 'amazing'. She is moving about as she hasn't for a long time. I would describe it as transformative for us.
