Abstract

PURPOSE: A debilitating and poorly understood symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) is freezing of gait (FoG), which increases the risk of falling. Clinical evaluations of FoG, relying on patients' subjective reports and manual examinations by specialists, are unreliable, and most detection methods are influenced by subject-specific factors.
