Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease: A Perceptual Cuase for a Motor Impairment? [PDF]
, 2009 While freezing of gait (FOG) is typically considered a motor impairment, the fact that it occurs more frequently in confined spaces suggests that perception of space might contribute to FOG.

Which Gait Tasks Produce Reliable Outcome Measures of Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease?
Journal of Parkinson's DiseaseBackground: Measurement of freezing of gait (FOG) relies on the sensitivity and reliability of tasks to provoke FOG. It is currently unclear which tasks provide the best outcomes and how medication state plays into this.

Exploratory Analysis of ELP1 Expression in Whole Blood From Patients With Familial Dysautonomia
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Familial dysautonomia (FD) is a hereditary neurodevelopmental disorder caused by aberrant splicing of the ELP1 gene, leading to a tissue‐specific reduction in ELP1 protein expression. Preclinical models indicate that increasing ELP1 levels can mitigate disease manifestations.

Does cueing training improve physical activity in patients with Parkinson's disease? [PDF]
, 2010 Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) are encouraged to stay active to maintain their mobility. Ambulatory activity monitoring (AM) provides an objective way to determine type and amount of gait-related daily activities.

Cortical phase-amplitude coupling is key to the occurrence and treatment of freezing of gait
Brain : a journal of neurology, 2022 Freezing of gait is a debilitating symptom in advanced Parkinson’s disease and responds heterogeneously to treatments such as deep brain stimulation. Recent studies indicated that cortical dysfunction is involved in the development of freezing, while ...

Lessons Learned From a Delayed‐Start Trial of Modafinil for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Freezing of gait (FOG) in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) is debilitating and has limited treatments. Modafinil modulates beta/gamma band activity in the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN), like PPN deep brain stimulation. We therefore tested the hypothesis that Modafinil would improve FOG in PwPD.

Recognition of freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease based on combined wearable sensors
BMC Neurology, 2022 Freezing of gait is a common gait disorder among patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease and is associated with falls. This paper designed the relevant experimental procedures to obtain FoG signals from PD patients.
