Introducing the Walking Tall app, co-designed by individuals living with Parkinson's Disease, with a focus on enhancing walking abilities and endurance. Led by Dr Matthew Brodie, the UNSW team developed this app following a successful clinical trial supported by the Shake It Up Australia Foundation and The Michael J. Fox Foundation. Additionally, the app's development received support from the IHealthE Catalyst Award and involved collaboration with the IHealthE Software Foundry.
At the heart of the trial was the app's gait re-training tool, now available for users to customise their training duration and pace. With guidance ranging from "walk tall" to "shoulders back," the app offers an empowering experience. You can download it for free on iOS and Android stores, making it a vital resource for individuals facing the challenges of Parkinson’s Disease.
