Effect of levodopa on fronto-parietal network connectivity in freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the effect of levodopa on fronto-parietal network (FPN) functional connectivity (FC) in Parkinson’s disease patients with (PD-FOG) and without freezing of gait…Predictors of freezing of gait in newly diagnosed Parkinson’s disease: Clinical, dopamine transporter imaging and CSF markers in the PPMI cohort
Objective: To examine whether clinical, dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) markers can be used to predict the later development of FOG individually…Functional Balance and Neuromuscular Strength Difficulties Like Fracture Predictors in a Parkinsonian Population
Objective: To evaluate the strength and function of the hip flexor muscles and knee extensors of elderly patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) to know possible…Longitudinal study of freezing of gait in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We conducted a prospective hospital based cohort study to investigate the incidence of Freezing of gait (FOG) and variables associated with onset of FOG…Zolpidem ameliorates the freezing of gait in a patient with PAGF (pure akinesia with freezing of gait)-the possible neural mechanism
Objective: To investigate the possible mechanism of amelioration of freezing of gait (FOG) in a patient with PAGF (Pure Akinesia with Freezing of Gait) by…Anosmia predicts development of more severe motor symptoms including freezing of gait and impaired balance at 2 year follow-up in PD
Objective: To investigate the relationship between baseline anosmia and 2-yr interval development of motor impairments in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: More severe olfactory deficits have…Falls in Parkinson’s disease: Beware the short, slow steps
Objective: To determine if step length influence falls in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background: Falls are major cause of disability in PD. The objective of…Quantitative assessment of DBS-induced gait disorder in patients with essential tremor
Objective: To investigate changes in gait coordination quantitatively in patients with essential tremor (ET) under chronic bilateral high-frequency stimulation of the nucleus ventralis intermedius (VIM).…Freezing of gait in extrapontine myelinolysis
Background: Extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM) is rarely complicated with akinetic-rigid parkinsonism. Herein we report a case with EPM presenting with freezing of gait (FOG). Methods: Case…Incidence and characteristics of gait dysfunction after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation
Objective: To identify the effects of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation on gait kinematics in patients with PD and describe the incidence of gait dysfunction…
