Gait rehabilitation is traditionally conducted in the clinic, but it is difficult to provide additional training outside the clinic safely and effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our end goal is to create an individualized virtual reality training platform to reduce FoG in people with PD. Specifically, we will extend the use of virtual reality (VR) in gait training for at-home use through action observation, the use of the observation of the actions expected with a normal gait pattern. People with PD use the virtual environment to \u201cwalk\u201d through common triggers of FoG in an immersive VR environment, including crowded rooms, narrow hallways, and narrow doorways. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Team:\u00a0Kyle Lindgren, Momona YamagamiMentor:\u00a0Sam Burden (ECE) &amp; Val Kelly (Rehab Med) Parkinson\u2019s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the lives of more than 10 million people worldwide. 60-80% of individuals with PD experience falls due to freezing of gait (FoG) at least once a year, which is a major contributor to reduced independence&#8230;<\/p>\n<div><a class=\"more\" href=\"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/amplify\/past-projects\/using-virtual-reality-to-mitigate-freezing-of-gait\/\">Read more<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":708,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-389","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/amplify\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/389"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/amplify\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/amplify\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/amplify\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/amplify\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389"}],"version-history":[{"count":27,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/amplify\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/389\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1091,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/amplify\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/389\/revisions\/1091"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/amplify\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/amplify\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
