Description
Walking confidently shouldn't feel out of reach. If you're living with Parkinson's disease, recovering from a stroke, or managing a movement disorder like MS or cerebral palsy, the NexStride gait cueing device gives you an evidence-based tool to overcome freezing of gait, shuffling, and fall risk — right at your fingertips. By projecting a green laser line on the ground and emitting an adjustable metronome beat, NexStride activates alternate neural pathways in the brain, allowing intention-based movement to replace automatic (and often failing) motor commands. The result: steadier steps, improved stride length, and greater confidence with every walk.
Setup takes minutes. NexStride clips directly to your existing cane, rollator, walker, or trekking poles — no new equipment to buy, no smartphone pairing, no online registration. You control both signals independently: activate the laser, the metronome, or both on demand when you feel a freeze coming, or run them continuously as a preventive cueing strategy. The rechargeable battery delivers up to 6–8 hours of use per charge, and at just 6 oz, you'll barely notice it's there. Backed by over 100 published research articles and validated in clinical studies with Vanderbilt and Bellevue Hospital, NexStride is trusted by physical therapists across the country and available to eligible Veterans through the VA at no out-of-pocket cost.
