结局指标
主要结局
Percentage of Time in FoG PTF
时间窗: At time of intervention (seconds)
We hypothesise that the delivery of continuous sensory electrical stimulation will reduce the percentage of time in FoG.
Number of FoG episodes occurring
时间窗: At time of intervention (seconds)
We hypothesise that the delivery of continuous sensory electrical stimulation will reduce the Number of FoG episodes Occurring (NFO).
