In-Step LaserCane for Parkinson Disease
The LaserCane projects a safe, obstacle-free visual cue, which can enable Parkinson’s patients and others to break “freezing” episodes and increase stride length. Every step you take, a bright laser line is projected right in front of you.
Walking can be smooth again with the LaserCane!
Simply take normal steps as your LaserCane projects a bright red line across your path.

Information on Red and Green Lasers
Since the introduction of our laser cueing products 12 years ago, they have been produced exclusively with red laser modules. We are now offering a green laser option as well.
Why Green ?
Green light, because of its wavelength, is easier to see than red light. (That being said, in most cases our red laser line is easy to see)
However, there are a few things you should know: *
- Both green and red laser beams are barely visible outdoors in the sunlight.
- Green lasers do not tolerate temperatures below 32 or above 100 degrees.
- Green lasers consume twice the battery power of red lasers, therefore you will need to change the batteries more often.
- Green laser modules are more complex, which accounts for them costing more than red laser modules.
