## Abstract Festination and freezing of gait (FOG) are poorly understood gait disorders that cause disability and falls in people with Parkinson disease (PD). In PD, basal ganglia malfunction leads to motor set deficits (hypokinesia), while altered motor cue production leads to a sequence effect, w
Freezing of gait (FOG) has been known to respond favorably to sensory tricks and cues. However, FOG is a complex phenomenon with various motor control deficits at play. In this review, we examined and summarized the currently available evidence for the effectiveness of cueing for FOG to determine it
## Abstract Freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease can be difficult to study in the laboratory. Here we investigate the use of a variableβwidth doorway to provoke freeze behavior together with new objective methods to measure it. With this approach we compare the effects of antiβparkinsonian treat
## 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
