## Abstract We herein report the case of a 84‐year‐old man with a 4‐year history of freezing of gait (FOG) consistent with the diagnosis of primary progressive freezing gait. Single photon emission tomography (SPECT) with a radiolabeled ligand of the dopamine transporter (DAT‐SPECT) showed integrit
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 di
## Abstract Freezing of gait (FOG) is a frequent, disabling symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD). FOG usually lasts a few seconds. It refers to brief paroxysmal events during which a subject is unable to start or continue locomotion. Despite its frequency, FOG pathophysiology is unclear. Because a f
