Description
This rollator is designed for individuals with neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease. It offers multiple cues to assist users in taking their first step, maintaining steady movement, and establishing a consistent walking rhythm.
The Rollz Motion Rhythm provides stability to prevent falls caused by balance issues. It also helps overcome freezing or festinating gait patterns. A projected laser line can prompt the user to break a freeze, while a metronome or recurring vibrations in the handles assist in regulating the walking pace.
Product Features
Multiple cues to break a freeze
Laser
A green laserline is projected onto the ground to stimulate breaking a freeze and improve the stride's length and walking speed.
Sound
A metronome signals the preferred step frequency. The acoustic rhythm contributes to regulating the walking speed.
Vibration
Handles vibrate at the rhythm of the pace. A big advantage of this tactile cue is that it is not noticeable to surrounding people.
Keep on walking
Used in Rehabilitation Programs
This adaptable rollator is ideal for physiotherapists and other professionals aiding patients recovering from neurological or mobility-impairing injuries. It is particularly beneficial for individuals emerging from a coma, those with Multiple Sclerosis, or others with neurological conditions that require additional support to (re)learn how to walk.

Regain your rhythm at the push of a button
Easy to set and activate by yourself or with your practitioner
The Rollz Motion Rhythm is built on the same frame as the Rollz Motion, with the addition of an electronic module that provides visual, auditory, and tactile cues.
These cues are activated by pressing one of the buttons on the handles. Your healthcare professional can assist in selecting the appropriate combination, frequency, duration, and intensity of the cues to suit your individual needs.
Overcoming freezing of gait
Cues are meant to alert and trigger into an action
People with Parkinson's may experience sudden, brief episodes where they are unable to move their feet forward, despite intending to walk. This can lead to the characteristic appearance of feet making rapid, stepping motions in place. A trigger or cue can help overcome this challenge.
movements in place. A trigger or cue can overcome this.
Unique combination
No Parkinson’s patient is alike, so how could one rollator work for everyone?
The three cues on the Parkinson rollator can be combined together in different ways and (de)activated on the go. This allows you to always have the right cue at the right moment.
Furthermore, each cue can be adjusted to perfectly fit your needs in terms of speed, intensity and duration. This way, every person living with Parkinson’s disease can use it in their own rhythm.
Helps preventing habituation
The Rollz app allows for further personalization of the cues. Some Parkinson’s patients may stop responding to repetitive cues after extended exposure to the same stimuli.
Advanced and smart cue control
In addition to adjusting the speed and cue combinations on the Parkinson rollator itself, the app allows users to modify the intensity, duration, and predictability of the cues. These settings can be easily customized to suit individual preferences.
Patients can tweak the settings based on their personal experiences or in alignment with their rehabilitation program. When working with a therapist, the settings can be fine-tuned to meet the patient’s specific training goals.
The app also allows users to mix the metronome's pitch and cue activation to create a random pattern, introducing variation and unpredictability to help prevent habituation.
This user-friendly app for the Parkinson rollator is available for free on both Android and iOS platforms.
Synchronize it to your smartphone
The app can deliver cues in sync with the rollator. When wirelessly connected to the Rollz Motion Rhythm, the smartphone can vibrate and/or play the metronome in harmony with the Parkinson rollator, enhancing the intensity of the cue.
Alternatively, the cues can be played exclusively through the smartphone, allowing users to plug in earphones for a more discreet experience. This feature ensures that the user’s surroundings remain unaware that cueing is active.
Great stability and comfort
As being a specialized version of the Rollz Motion, the Rollz Motion Rhythm is also a highly maneuverable rollator that offers unmatched stability. The large wheels cross obstacles easily and a folding mechanism allows compact transportation.
Every Rollz Motion rollator can be transformed into a Rollz Motion Rhythm by adding the Rhythm module and changing the handles.
Additional lasers, slow down brakes, wheelchair add-on
The Parkinson rollator can be fitted with two additional lasers that project lines that pivot to the left or right, assisting users in navigating corners.
Some patients experience festination of gait, which can cause an increase in walking speed. The slow-down brakes help regulate the rollator's speed, enhancing safety.
Additionally, the wheelchair attachment allows the Rollz Motion Rhythm to be converted from a rollator to a wheelchair in just 30 seconds, making it ideal for those who tire easily and need to be pushed further.
