Resting-state brain connectivity in patients with Parkinson's disease and freezing of gait Conclusions: Our findings suggest that a resting-state functional connectivity disruption of executive-attention and visual neural networks may be associated with the development of freezing of gait in patients with Parkinson's disease. 17 April 2012
A comparison of clinical and objective measures of freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease The results demonstrate the viability of objectivemeasures of freezing, and that percent time frozen is a more reliable metric of severity than number of freezing events for both clinical and objectivemeasures. The large variability between clinicians suggests that caution should be used when comparing subjective ratings across centers. 23 March 2012
Cortical involvement in a gait-related imagery task: Comparison between Parkinson's disease and normal aging This study provides image based evidence for gait disturbance in PD patients and during normal aging. The compensatory cortical mechanism in the findings could be a background resource for further therapeutic interventions. 19 March 2012
Dissociating between sensory and perceptual deficits in PD: More than simply a motor deficit These results support the notion that sensory deficits may contribute to inaccuracy of perceptual judgment and has the potential to contribute to gait behaviors such as tripping and falling, especially when vision is not available. 15 March 2012
Freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease: Further insights into pathophysiological mechanisms Conclusion: These results suggest asymmetry and decreased coordination of gait are affected by step length and may not be factors in determining freezing of gait in PD. 07 March 2012
The possible price of auditory cueing: Influence on obstacle avoidance in Parkinson's disease Auditory cueing improved gait in PD, without negative effects on concurrent obstacle avoidance. Additionally, freezers avoided obstacles less efficiently than non-freezers. 16 February 2012
