In-Step LaserCue for Parkinson’s Freezing - STOP FREEZING. START WALKING.

LaserCue:  Michael J. Fox Edition

The Story Behind the LaserCue

We were inspired to design the LaserCue by Michael J. Fox. He encouraged us to make a version of our LaserCane® that can be retrofitted to any cane so you can benefit from this technology while using the cane of your choice. Through our collaboration we have created the LaserCue module that allows you to enjoy an easier stride, while choosing a cane to fit your needs and personality—from classy to bold, wood or metal.

What is the LaserCue?

The LaserCue is an innovative product designed to attach to any cane and reduce Parkinson’s freezing. It works by projecting a safe, obstacle-free red line on the floor to step toward, which can enable Parkinson’s patients with “freezing” episodes to walk with less hesitation, longer strides and more safety. The laser projects every time your cane touches the floor while walking. The LaserCue, appropriately named for how it works, uses laser cueing technology to reduce Parkinson’s freezing.

Product Information

The LaserCue module installs easily on canes that measure between 3/4″-7/8″ wide. Just slide the LaserCue up the body of the cane close to the handle and tighten the two thumbscrews on the back of the LaserCue to secure it to your cane. (Youtube assembly videos available)

The LaserCue is powered by two AA batteries that last many months and are easy to change.

We are proud that with every purchase of the LaserCue, a donation is made to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for helping in finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease.

This is a breakthrough product for Parkinson’s patients with freezing issues. I use it often and it always works great. I really think that this product could change and possibly even save lives.

Quality Assurance

A tremendous amount of effort was made to streamline the design and make the LaserCue highly durable and reliable. We designed the product with no moving parts and high quality components so you can trust that it will operate faithfully for many years.

Laser Cueing Has Been Proven Effective in Clinical Research

“This study identified that the LaserCane was the most effective cueing device for people with Parkinson’s disease compared to the other interventions tested.”

 Allied Health Research Unit, University of Central Lancashire, Preston, UK.

“The current study demonstrates that adding a laserlight visual cue to a cane or walker can lead to a modest reduction in FOG (Freezing) and may substantially reduce the frequency of falls in PD patients with FOG (Freezing).”

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts, USA.

Testimonials

“My husband has had Parkinson’s for 19 years and the Lasercane is a big help.  He uses the cane all the time but, when he cannot initiate his steps, he turns the laser on and steps to the light.”

Jeri Michell Portland, OR

“It is great for me.  It helps me in turning and when I freeze in a crowd it helps me get started.”

George McPhee Stouffville, Ontario, Canada

“I want to tell you about an unanticipated benefit of the laser cane.  Since you have a family member with PD, perhaps you have experienced the isolation and withdrawal patients often fell.  The laser cane is guaranteed to start a conversation.  Ron now has returned to “the cutting edge,” as he was when he was a world-renowned neuro-opthalmologist.  Thanks for your help.
Sharon New York, NY

The Lasercane is helpful for taking bigger steps.  My wife tells me when I use the Lasercane, I do not shuffle around the house.  I do not always need the laser but, having a cane to use is helpful.  It is reassuring to know when I freeze that I have the Laser to depend on.  The only draw back is everyone who sees it wants to know about it.”

George Gifford Medfield ,MA

“I have Parkinson’s disease.  For the past several years I have suffered many falls that have resulted from “freezing”.  Freezing occurs when some Parkinson’s patients start to walk, turn, approach a doorway or it may occur in any maneuver while walking. 

I have had the use of a laser cane for two months now and the visual cue of a line projected across the floor at the base of the cane has significantly improved my ability to overcome freezing and therefore has also decreased the anxiety I have had of falling. 

I applaud the research efforts of ,In-Step Mobility Corp., The development of a laser cane is another move forward in the fight against Parkinson’s disease!”
