i experience freezing when off when walking thru narrow passages such as doorways or facing an obstacle in my path, not to say wakling is easy when off, i usually don't walk unless i have to. i purchased a mini $1 laser/flashlight with batteries from the DOLLAR STORE, you have to keep the button pushed down to shine the light but it helps me get moving, just shine the light to where you want to step. i doubt this is the same laser light made it up is referring to, there are ones on walkers and canes that project a line on the ground that you step on(?) over(?)
