Rollz Rhythm Parkinsons Rollator
Parkinson rollator walker with customizable cues.
This rollator walker is meant for people living with specific neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s. Multiple stimuli are available to help the user take the first step, make subsequent steps, or maintain a walking rhythm.
The stability of the Rollz Motion Rhythm prevents falls that could occur due to balance problems.
In addition, the cues overcome freezing or festinating gait patterns.
A projected laser line could help to trigger the user to break a freeze. A metronome or the repeating vibration in the handles can further help to set the walking pace".

Used in rehabilitation programs
This versatile rollator walker can be used by physiotherapists and other professionals supporting patients rehabilitating from neurological or mobility-impacting injuries.
This includes people who have been in a coma, people living with Multiple Sclerosis, or other neurological conditions that require extra support to (re-learn how to) walk.


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.

HELPS PREVENT HABITUATION
The cues can be personalised even more with the Rollz app.
Some people might find they stop responding to the same repeating cues due to prolonged exposure to those stimuli.
As a countermeasure, the three cues can be mixed via the app to create a new random pattern. The variation and unpredictability prevents habituation.
The app for the Parkinson rollator 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 itself, the app allows you to change the intensity, duration and predictability of the cues as well.
These variables can be easily adapted to the user’s preferences.
You can choose to tweak the settings based on their own experience, or in accordance with their rehabilitation program. An OT or physiotherapist can also help adjust the settings to match your personal training goals.


SYNCHRONIZE IT TO YOUR SMARTPHONE
The app can be used to give the cues in sync with the rollator.
While wirelessly connected to the Rollz Motion Rhythm,
the smartphone can vibrate and/or play the metronome along with the Parkinson rollator 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.
