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.

Inhibition, Executive Function, and Freezing of Gait [PDF]
Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, 2014 Background: Studies suggest that freezing of gait (FoG) in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with declines in executive function (EF). However, EF is multi-faceted, including three dissociable components: inhibiting prepotent responses, switching between task sets, and updating working memory.

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.

Home detection of freezing of gait using Support Vector Machines through a single waist-worn triaxial accelerometer [PDF]
, 2017 Among Parkinson’s disease (PD) symptoms, freezing of gait (FoG) is one of the most debilitating. To assess FoG, current clinical practice mostly employs repeated evaluations over weeks and months based on questionnaires, which may not accurately map the ...

Freezing during tapping tasks in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease and freezing of gait.
PLoS ONE, 2017 IntroductionParkinson's disease patients with freezing of gait also experience sudden motor blocks (freezing) during other repetitive motor tasks. We assessed the proportion of patients with advanced PD and freezing of gait who also displayed segmental ...
