A notable case of primary progressive freezing of gait associated with parietal cortical atrophy [PDF]
BMC NeurologyBackground Freezing of gait (FOG) is a symptom that occurs in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and various other gait disorders. Primary progressive freezing of gait (PPFG) disorder is a rare clinical syndrome in which FOG persists for at least three years ...

Levodopa responsive gait dynamics in OFF- and ONOFF-state freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease
Clinical Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2023 Background: In people with Parkinson’s disease (PwPD), Freezing of Gait (FOG) episodes can be levodopa responsive (OFF-FOG) or levodopa unresponsive (ONOFF-FOG).

Noisy interlimb coordination can be a main cause of freezing of gait in patients with little to no parkinsonism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Freezing of gait in patients with Parkinson's disease is associated with several factors, including interlimb incoordination and impaired gait cycle regulation.

Variability of Stepping during a Virtual Reality Paradigm in Parkinson's Disease Patients with and without Freezing of Gait. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUNDFreezing of gait is a common and debilitating symptom affecting many patients with advanced Parkinson's disease. Although the pathophysiology of freezing of gait is not fully understood, a number of observations regarding the pattern of gait in

Visual processing speed in freezing and non-freezing Parkinson’s disease patients
Clinical Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2020 Introduction: Parkinson's disease patients are usually characterized by body motor dysfunction due to dopaminergic reduction in the central nervous system. Freezing of gait is a motor disorder that affects certain Parkinson's disease patients.

Utility of objective gait measures in levodopa‐unresponsive freezing in Parkinson's
Clinical Case Reports, 2021 Levodopa‐unresponsive gait freezing in Parkinson disease is debilitating. Gait kinematics, while time‐consuming, can help optimize levodopa's benefit on gait stride length and stride velocity, and thereby improve freezing and falls in these patients.

Biphasic Levodopa-Induced Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease
Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, 2020 The relation between freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease and levodopa is complex. Here, we describe a new phenotype of freezing of gait, namely levodopa-induced freezing of gait with a biphasic pattern.

Future Therapeutic Strategies for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 Freezing of gait (FOG) is a common and challenging clinical symptom in Parkinson’s disease. In this review, we summarise the recent insights into freezing of gait and highlight the strategies that should be considered to improve future treatment.

Could sensory mechanisms be a core factor that underlies freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The main objective of this study was to determine how manipulating the amount of sensory information available about the body and surrounding environment influenced freezing of gait (FOG), while walking through a doorway.
