Freezing of gait: a practical approach to management
The Lancet Neurology, 2015 Freezing of gait is a common and disabling symptom in patients with parkinsonism, characterised by sudden and brief episodes of inability to produce effective forward stepping. These episodes typically occur during gait initiation or turning. Treatment is important because freezing of gait is a major risk factor for falls in parkinsonism, and a source ...

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.

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

The Practicalities of Assessing Freezing of Gait [PDF]
Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, 2016 Background: Freezing of gait (FOG) is a mysterious, complex and debilitating phenomenon in Parkinson’s disease. Adequate assessment is a pre-requisite for managing FOG, as well as for assigning participants in FOG research. The episodic nature of FOG, as well as its multiple clinical expressions make its assessment challenging.

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.

Cognitive function in people with and without freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease [PDF]
, 2020 Freezing of gait (FOG) is common in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) which is extremely debilitating. One hypothesis for the cause of FOG episodes is impaired cognitive control, however, this is still in debate in the literature. We aimed to assess a

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.

Asymmetric freezing of gait in hemiparkinsonism-hemiatrophy [PDF]
Neurology, 2004 A 62-year-old man presented with a 2-year history of dyskinesia and a 10-month history of gait difficulty. He had developed circumferential gait of the left leg at the age of 40 years. About 2 years later, he …

Freezing of Gait in Multiple System Atrophy
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022 Background and PurposeFreezing of gait (FOG) is a common gait disturbance phenomenon in multiple system atrophy (MSA) patients. The current investigation assessed the incidence FOG in a cross-sectional clinical study, and clinical correlations associated with it.MethodsNinety-nine MSA patients from three hospitals in China were consecutively enrolled ...
