I've been reading some articles about this piece of equipment that you stick to your chest. It's supposed to help with freezing in Parkinson's patients. I was wondering if it would help those of us that have the same Parkinisms of balance and freezing. It's not cheep, has any tried it are nows more about it.

Not cheap, but they do allow you to return it and obtain a refund if it doesn’t work - within, I think, the first six months.

I did look into it and was quite tempted, but have not yet tried it (I have MSA).

Hi there. My late husband tried it for about 3 months he had MSA C and was pretty wobbly but still mobile at the time he tried it. Unfortunately it didn’t work for him in terms of improving balance but he did say he felt he slept better with it. We returned it at the end of the trial but Charco were collecting information on patients with neurological conditions other than straight Parkinson’s so worth getting in touch with them and asking if they have more trial info now for MSA.

My wife tried it but unfortunately it didn't work for her. We bought it second hand and sold it to a lady who had great results with it.
