Where are we 4 weeks later?

As the 3rd trial site to open in UK, recruitment has done well so far, with 22 expressions of interest and 5 eligible participants!

Thank you to everyone who has keenly supported this project - Swansea is flying the flag of success…

Of course we have a long way to go yet, the journey has just begun…

Curious to know more? Read all about it and register your interest (see link below).

I might be calling you next 😊

Happy Easter 🐣

A week ago, we had our “green light” to open the Swansea site (Rehab Engineering Unit, Morriston Hospital) for this national research, which explores the use of electrical stimulation to improve movement of people with Parkinson’s disease.

Today, we’ve officially recruited an eligible participant…and so the story begins!

What a difference a week makes!

Could you (or someone you know) be next?

As most of you already know, I’m part of a research study for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), exploring the use of electrical stimulation to help with walking difficulties.

STEPS II is a National Institute for Health and Care Research funded study for people with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), sponsored by Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust and managed by the University of Plymouth's Peninsula Clinical Trials Unit.

This is a study testing a device that aims to improve walking in people with PD. The device is attached to the leg and produces small electrical impulses that improve movement, using a safe technique called functional electrical stimulation (FES).
A previously carried out small (feasibility) study showed that FES can help patients walk faster and reduce some symptoms of PD.

Morriston Hospital Rehab Engineering Unit has been selected as one of the 7 trial sites in the UK and we now have our ‘green light’ for participant recruitment. We are the only Wales site for this study.
