Could Music Help Folks with Parkinson’s Disease Walk Better?

Imagine if music could help people with Parkinson’s walk better — safer, faster, longer, and more freely. At Boston University’s Center for Neurorehabilitation, professor Terry Ellis is investigating the benefits of a wearable system that uses foot sensors to track walking and trigger rhythmic music in real time. Ellis' hope is that this kind of accessible, home-based therapy could transform mobility and independence for millions living with Parkinson’s.
