More than 50% of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients exhibit freezing of gait (FoG) characterized by a sudden and transient inability to initiate or continue walking (1)
A current hypothesis proposes that FoG could be caused by an asymmetry and impaired left-right coordination of the locomotor pattern (4)
Summary
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Movement Disorders, a section of the journal Frontiers in Neurology. A current hypothesis proposes that FoG could be caused by an asymmetry and impaired left-right coordination of the locomotor pattern (4). In a recent article published in Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, Mohammadi and colleagues used a split-belt treadmill that can independently control the speed of the left and right sides to evaluate gait symmetry and adaptation in healthy subjects (n = 12), non-freezer (n = 12), and freezer (n = 10) PD patients (5).
