Freezing of Gait (FoG) is a common symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), manifesting as a brief, episodic absence, or marked reduction in walking, despite a patient's intention to move. Clinical assessment of FoG events from manual observations by exp...
BACKGROUND: Walking impairment represents a relevant symptom in patients with neurological diseases often compromising social participation. Currently, mixed methods studies on robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in patients with rare neurological di...
