Validation of Freezing-of-Gait Monitoring Using Smartphone

Telemedicine and e-Health, 2018
Freezing of gait (FOG) is a commonly observed motor symptom for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The symptoms of FOG include reduced step lengths or motor blocks, even with an evident intention of walking. FOG should be monitored carefully because it not only lowers the patient's quality of life, but also significantly increases the risk of ...

Freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease

Neurologic Clinics, 2004
Freezing of gait (FOG) is a highly debilitating, poorly understood manifestation of Parkinson’s disease (PD) that severely limits patients’ mobility. When coupled with postural instability in PD patients, FOG is a common cause of falls, complications of which can occasionally lead to death.

Parkinson’s Disease: Freezing of Gait

2012
Freezing of gait (FOG) is also referred to as “gait ignition failure,” the “slipping clutch syndrome,” or “magnetic gait.” FOG causes sudden but transient interruption of walking. Patients describe feeling as if their feet are “glued” or “stuck” to the floor.

Freezing of gait in multiple system atrophy (MSA)

Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2003
Freezing of gait (FOG) is a mysterious symptom, observed in different parkinsonian syndromes, but considered to be rare in multiple system atrophy (MSA).To assess the frequency of FOG in patients with MSA.We studied the presence of FOG in 28 patients with clinical diagnosis of MSA. 21 patients had probable MSA and 7 had possible MSA.

Brain imaging in patients with freezing of gait

Movement Disorders, 2008
Freezing of gait (FOG) is a disabling gait disturbance with unknown cerebral pathophysiology. In this review, we discuss the functional brain imaging studies that address gait physiology and pathophysiology of FOG. Radiotracer metabolic studies show basal ganglia-cortical circuitry involvement in different aspects of gait control.

Freezing of gait: pharmacological and surgical options

Current Opinion in Neurology
Purpose of review The primary aim of this review is to describe and update the pathophysiological and relevant therapeutic strategies for freezing of gait (FoG) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent findings FoG presumably involves dysfunction of multiple cortical and ...

Freezing of gait in postmortem‐confirmed atypical parkinsonism

Movement Disorders, 2002
AbstractThe frequency and pathophysiology of freezing of gait (FoG) in atypical parkinsonism is unknown. We analysed the frequency of FoG in postmortem‐confirmed atypical parkinsonian disorders (APD) comprising corticobasal degeneration (CBD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), multiple system atrophy (MSA), and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP ...

Deep brain stimulation effect on freezing of gait

Movement Disorders, 2008
The majority of patients with Parkinson's disease suffer from freezing of gait (FOG), which responds more or less to levodopa. Thalamic stimulation, mainly used in the treatment of tremor dominant Parkinson's disease is ineffective in FOG. GPi stimulation moderately improves FOG, but this effect may abate in the long term.

Asymmetry and freezing of gait in parkinsonian patients

Journal of Neurology, 2012
It has been hypothesized that freezing of gait (FOG) in parkinsonian patients (PD) might be triggered by a breakdown in the normal symmetry of gait. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between asymmetry of gait and FOG and the effects of intensive treadmill treatment on asymmetry.

Freezing of gait in PD

Neurology, 2001
To study the development of freezing of gait in PD.Freezing of gait is a common, disabling, and poorly understood symptom in PD.The authors analyzed data from 800 patients with early PD from the Deprenyl and Tocopherol Antioxidative Therapy of Parkinsonism (DATATOP) clinical trial who were assigned either placebo, deprenyl, tocopherol, or the ...
