In-Step LaserCane

The In-Step LaserCane is a walking cane with a laser light that provides a visual cue that helps to break freezing episodes during walking. Users with ataxia, Parkinson's disease, stroke, and other neurological disabilities may find this cane helpful for walking smoothly again.

The In-Step LaserCane is height-adjustable, made of lightweight aluminum, and has a laser light that projects a line in front of the user. This bright red visual cue interrupts episodes of freezing. The cane is equipped with an on/off switch in the handle. All wires and laser components are hidden inside the cane. The laser is powered by two AA batteries, which are easy to replace and typically last at least six months. The basic science behind the In-step LaserCane is the projection of visual cue in the form of a laser beam light, which sends a message to the brain to allow the leg to move forward. The laser line automatically projects right in front of the leg as soon as the cane comes in contact with the ground. This bright laser line serves as a safe, obstacle-free visual cue, which prevents falling and help the patient to begin the step by stepping over the line. The laser line disappears when the cane is lifted and reappears when it touches the ground again for another step; thus allows the patient to step after step and restore the normal walk. This high-quality cane is made and designed in the USA, for clients with Parkinson's disease, ALS, abnormal gait patterns and used for stroke rehabilitation.
