Freezing of Gait is a disability related to the Parkinson?s Disease. It is observed as a motor freezing at the beginning of the gait or as a sudden inability to walk under specific situations. The symptoms may disappear or be avoided with different stimulations. In this paper we present a portable device to assist the autonomous walk of patients.
