Rollz Mobility has announced that its Parkinson’s rollator was voted by this year’s OT Show visitors the ‘Best New Product’ of the exhibition.

The rollator was designed to be used in treatments of specific neurological conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis, by overcoming symptoms of freezing or festinating gait patterns.

A case study conducted by The OT Service and other recent research shows in-depth clinical justification for this rollator and its benefits in Parkinson’s use, according to Rollz Mobility.

Recent research conducted by the research group Assistive Technology for Mobility and Sports and Expert Centre Human Movement Technology from The Hague University of Applied Sciences shows that 80 percent of the Parkinson’s patients who participated in the research benefited from using Rollz’s Parkinson’s walker with different cues.

Rollz’s Parkinson’s rollator, called the Rollz Motion Rhythm, is equipped with sound, vibration, and laser cues, which can be combined in different ways to perfectly fit different needs. The cues can all be adjusted as required on the rollator itself or via an app on a smart phone.

Richard Zwart, COO at Rollz International, said: “Of all the products on the OT Show, our Rollz Motion Rhythm rollator designed for people with Parkinson’s disease was voted the ‘Best New Product’. This is yet another acknowledgment of a great teamwork from everyone at Rollz.

“Many thanks to the show visitors who voted for us. This award shows that our treatment solutions for people with specific neurological conditions align with company’s mission to enable an independent life”.

Rollz offers videos on how these cues on the Rollz Motion Rhythm rollator helped someone living with Parkinson’s disease step out of a freezing of gait episode. See an example below:
