## Abstract The basal ganglia are thought to play an important role in regulating motor programs involved in gait and in the fluidity and sequencing of movement. We postulated that the ability to maintain a steady gait, with low strideβtoβstride variability of gait cycle timing and its subphases, w
## 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
Freezing of gait (FOG) is a common and very disabling symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD). It is usually observed in the advanced stage of the disease, although a mild form can be seen in the early stage. Although some studies have suggested that longer duration of dopaminergic treatment is associat
