Deliberate gait scissoring to overcome freezing of gait in Parkinson disease [PDF]

Neurology, 2018
A 70-year-old man with Parkinson disease (PD) presented with gait scissoring, which he used purposely to overcome freezing of gait (video). This is important for 3 reasons. First, gait scissoring is traditionally equated with a functional disorder, but can apparently also be seen in PD.1 Second, although balance impairments are common in PD, gait ...

Gait Initiation Impairment in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease and Freezing of Gait

Bioengineering, 2022
Freezing of gait (FOG) is a sudden episodic inability to produce effective stepping despite the intention to walk. It typically occurs during gait initiation (GI) or modulation and may lead to falls. We studied the anticipatory postural adjustments (imbalance, unloading, and stepping phase) at GI in 23 patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and FOG ...

Assessing inertial measurement unit locations for freezing of gait detection and patient preference

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2022
Background Freezing of gait, a common symptom of Parkinson’s disease, presents as sporadic episodes in which an individual’s feet suddenly feel stuck to the ground.

Improvement of freezing of gait in patients with Parkinson’s disease by music exercise therapy: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Trials, 2021
Background Progression of freezing of gait, a common pathological gait in Parkinson’s disease, is an important risk factor for diagnosing the disease and has been shown to predispose patients to easy falls, loss of independent living ability, and reduced

Freezing of gait and white matter changes: a tract-based spatial statistics study. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that the integrity of white matter might be related to the severity of freezing of gait in age-related white matter changes. METHODS: Twenty subjects exhibiting excessive hyperintensities in the periventricular and deep white ...

Effects of Parkinson’s disease on optic flow perception for heading direction during navigation [PDF]

, 2014
Visuoperceptual disorders have been identified in individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and may affect the perception of optic flow for heading direction during navigation.

Unveiling the Unpredictable in Parkinson’s Disease: Sensor-Based Monitoring of Dyskinesias and Freezing of Gait in Daily Life

Bioengineering
Background: Dyskinesias and freezing of gait are episodic disorders in Parkinson’s disease, characterized by a fluctuating and unpredictable nature. This cross-sectional study aims to objectively monitor Parkinsonian patients experiencing dyskinesias and/

A new phenotype of choreic syndrome associating severe freezing of gait and chorea

Clinical Case Reports, 2020
The early onset of gait akinesia should not rule out the diagnosis of hereditary chorea. It would be helpful to proceed to a whole‐genome and long‐read sequencing in order to track a new pathogenic variant including noncoding repeat expansion.

Vibration stimulation to the lower limbs improves freezing of gait and modifies cortical electrical activities in Parkinson's disease

Neurotherapeutics
Muscle vibration, a form of proprioceptive stimulation, is a promising therapeutic method for alleviating freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease. This study aimed to investigate whether vibration stimulation enhances freezing of gait in Parkinson's ...
