Quality of life and motor function are impaired by shuffling and freezing of gait in people with Parkinson’s disease.
It is well known that certain auditory and visual cues can improve motor function in people with PD.
Dr. Alberto Espay, presented the results of his study which showed successful treatment of gait impairment for Parkinson’s disease by using a new patented device, the GaitAid.
Patients in the study received the device for in-home use during a two week period. The participants used the device daily for 20 minutes. Gait parameters were measured before, during and after the two week period.
Dr. James J. Dalfino announces the release of the Zerona laser, a new non-surgical ‘lipo laser’ to his practice in Shelton, CT. The Zerona laser has been showcased recently on the Rachael Ray Show, The Doctors, Extra, and NBC Connecticut as a huge wave of interest flows through New England about its amazing success.
The Zerona Laser is coined the ‘Lipo-Laser’ because it offers liposuction without the surgery or the downtime typically seen with traditional liposuction procedures. In fact, the Zerona laser is completely non-invasive, painless, and very effective. Studies performed by Erchonia Medical, the equipment’s manufacturer, has documented patients losing between 3-9 inches of fat off their midsections with the average loss between 5-6 inches.
The Zerona laser is a Cold Laser meaning that it is non-thermal and produces no heat, so patients do not feel anything while the procedure is performed. Treatments are typically 40 minutes long, and average 2 weeks in length.

St. Jude Medical, Inc. announced today that a 62-year-old man from Shenzhen, Guangdong province has become the first patient in China to be implanted with the Eon neurostimulator, a rechargeable device used to help manage chronic pain. Despite prior back surgeries, the patient suffered from chronic back pain for more than a decade.
The Eon neurostimulator, which is the first rechargeable spinal cord stimulator to be approved for use in China, was recently approved by the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) for the management of chronic low back pain and pain from back surgeries that have failed.
“Chronic pain is a serious health issue in China,” said Professor Zhang De Ren, M.D., an interventional pain physician at the Shenzhen Nanshan Hospital of Shenzhen, Guangdong province who performed the procedure. “We are excited to be able to provide an advanced therapy such as neurostimulation in order to improve patient outcomes.”
The Eon neurostimulator is designed to provide spinal cord stimulation therapy. Similar to a cardiac pacemaker, this “pacemaker for pain” delivers mild electrical pulses to a lead or leads that are placed in the epidural space near the spine to interrupt or mask the transmission of pain signals to the brain. Once activated, the system’s programs are adjusted and fine-tuned to best manage the patient’s pain.
