Sensory Reweighting, Muscle Synergies and Triggers for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease (Antifreeze)

Description

Freezing of Gait is a frequent and debilitating condition in Parkinson's Disease, for which there is no proven therapeutic approach. The AntiFreeze project investigates the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to assess, evaluate, and train strategies to avoid Freezing. Antifreeze also researches and develops low code and no code software engineering artefacts to enable clinicians to rapidly personalize interventions tailored to each patient.

In this project we work on the frontiers of software engineering by researching, designing and implementing novel low code & no code artifacts to support clinicians in the task of creation and personalisation of freezing of gait interventions using VR and AR technologies.
