  • Title: The challenge of evaluating freezing of gait in patients with Parkinson's disease.
    Author: Nieuwboer A, Giladi N.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2008; 22 Suppl 1():S16-8. PubMed ID: 19085348.
    Abstract:
    Freezing of gait (FOG) poses difficulties for measurement as it is highly sensitive to environmental triggers, cognitive input and medication. To ensure valid and reliable measurement of FOG, a combined methodology is recommended relying on tests of complex gait during the off-period together with a FOG-questionnaire, addressing severity and impact of freezing on daily life.
