Portable stimulator being tested on Parkinson's patients

(University of Gothenburg) Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have shown that a weak electric 'noise' can improve balance and motor skills in patients with Parkinson's disease. In cooperation with NASA, the research team has now developed a portable prototype that will be used in long-term studies of Parkinson's patients in their home environment. The work has been published online in Brain Stimulation.
