The purpose of this study is to develop an abnormal gait detection algorithm and a vibratory stimulation system on a lower limb to improve gait stability and prevent falls. The investigators want to detect, assess and communicate fall risk indicators obtained via the shoe sensors, and assess effectiveness of a gait synchronized vibration system to the plantar surface in reducing fall risk.The system consists of a gait measurement module, an abnormal gait detection module, and a vibratory stimulation module.

Test the efficacy of a wearable shoe sensor to detect initiation of abnormal gait patterns that increase the likelihood of falls
Timeframe: 1 hour; The entire protocol for testing the PD shoe is expected to be less than 2hours.
