Parkinson's Prevalence
1 Million Americans 3
110,000 Veterans 4-5
PD is the fastest growing neurodegenerative disease in the world.1
For people living with PD, walking and overall mobility are a top challenge.2
RAS Improves Gait Quality in PD 6-15
Note: These animations show simulated gait patterns developed with clinician input. They are not representative of trial data.
Walking with RAS
Increased Stride Length
Improved Automaticity
Decreased Fall Risk
Walking without RAS
Music can engage the brain, therapeutically.
Movive delivers rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS), an established and familiar tool for walking rehabilitation in PD.
RAS combines rhythmic cueing, which elicits auditory-motor entrainment, with an evidence-based protocol to facilitate clinical outcomes.
Ships Direct to Vet
Available in English & Spanish
Product, billing, and tech support included
a non-pharmacological option
Indication
Support gait rehabilitation and motor function for people living with Parkinson's disease (PD)
Intended Use
Physical rehabilitation in the home of ambulatory adults living with walking impairments from PD
PD patients make Movive part of their routine.
Both total steps and moderate intensity activity increased after a person with PD walked with Movive in a feasibility study. 16
17.2
Avg. Monthly Walks with Movive 16
Session time exceeded 100%
Movive Supports Mobility
Compared to the average PD patient who experiences a 14% decrease in total steps in 1 year 16-17
Compared to the average PD patient who experiences a 40% decrease in moderate intensity activity in 1 year 16-17
Safety Information
Only use Movive in safe environments.
Do not use Movive in unsafe environments such as uneven, wet, or icy terrain. Also, do not use Movive in areas with obstacles and hazards in the walking path such as pets, pedestrians or traffic increase the risk of slips, trips, falls or collision.
Stop using Movive if you experience abnormal symptoms.
Stop using Movive if experiencing abnormal muscle or joint pain, or abnormal symptoms such as nausea, shortness of breath or excessive fatigue.
Do not use Movive on a treadmill.
Movive is a complete neurorehabilitation system.
Everything is included and Movive is designed for easy usability right out of the box.
Patients do not need any technical expertise or a personal smartphone to use Movive.
