The Rollz Motion Rhythm walker is a useful waling aid for individuals with Parkinson's or other neurological conditions who experience difficulty with walking and balance.

Multiple cues to break a freeze
Helps preventing habituation
The cues can be personalized even more with the Rollz app. Some Parkinson’s patients might stop responding to the same repeating cues due to prolonged exposure to those stimuli.
As a countermeasure, the metronome’s tone height and cue activation can be mixed in the app to create a random pattern. The variation and unpredictability prevent habituation.

Regain your rhythm at the push of a button
Easy to set and activate by yourself or with your practitioner
The Rollz Motion Rhythm is developed on the same frame as the Rollz Motion, to which an electronic module has been added to offer visual, audible, and tactile stimuli.
The cues of this Parkinson rollator walker start when one of the buttons on the handles is being pressed. Your practitioner can help choose the cue combination, frequency, duration, and intensity to fit your specific situation.
Overcoming Freezing of Gait
Cues are meant to alert and trigger into an action
Parkinson's patients can experience sudden, short, and temporary episodes of inability to move the feet forward, despite the intention to walk. This could result in the characteristic appearance of the feet making quick stepping movements in place. A trigger or cue can overcome this.
Unique Combination 2-In-1
No Parkinson’s patient is alike, so how could one rollator walker work for everyone?
The three cues on the Parkinson rollator walker can be combined in different ways and (de)activated on the go. This allows you to always have the right cue at the right moment.
Furthermore, each cue can be adjusted to perfectly fit your needs in terms of speed, intensity, and duration. This way, every person living with Parkinson’s disease can use it in their own rhythm.
App - Helps Prevent Habituation
The cues can be personalized even more with the Rollz app. Some Parkinson’s patients might stop responding to the same repeating cues due to prolonged exposure to those stimuli.
As a countermeasure, the metronome’s tone height and cue activation can be mixed in the app to create a random pattern. The variation and unpredictability prevent habituation.
The app for the Parkinson rollator walker 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 walker itself, the app allows users to change the intensity, duration, and predictability of the cues as well. These variables can be easily adapted to the user’s preferences.
The patient can choose to tweak the settings based on their own experience, or in accordance with their rehabilitation program. When a therapist is involved, the settings can be adjusted to match the patient’s personal training goals.
Synchronize It To Your Smartphone
The app can be used to give the cues in sync with the rollator walker. While wirelessly connected to the Rollz Motion Rhythm, the smartphone can vibrate and/or play the metronome along with the Parkinson rollator walker 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.
Accessories - Additional Lasers, Drag Brakes, Wheelchair Add-On
The Parkinson rollator walker can be equipped with two extra lasers. The projected lines will pivot towards left or right, helping to initiate a corner.
Some patients suffer from festination of gait, so their walking speed increases. drag brakes control the speed of the rollator walker and therefore increase the safety.
The wheelchair add-on transforms the Rollz Motion Rhythm from rollator walker into a wheelchair within 30 seconds. This is ideal if you get tired and need to pe pushed further.
