Apparatus for management of a Parkinson's disease patient's gait

A gait management apparatus comprising:

• at least one motion sensor configured for sensing motion of a user,
• at least one cueing actuator including electrical stimulation electrodes, the electrical stimulation electrodes configured for stimulating a body part of the user,
• a memory for storing a non-transitory computer program, and
• a controller programmed to execute the program stored in the memory to allow the controller to receive motion sensing signals from said at least one motion sensor, to perform automatic detection of a gait dysfunction or potential gait dysfunction, and to activate said cueing actuator automatically upon said detection, wherein the at least one motion sensor, the at least one cueing actuator, the electrical stimulation electrodes, the memory, and the controller are in electrical contact,
• wherein the controller and the cueing actuator are programmed to perform at least one selected from the group consisting of sensory level cueing and motor level cueing,
• and
• wherein the controller is programmed to determine characteristics of a patient and to activate cueing customised to the patient.
