• Dual tasking, gait rhythmicity, and Parkinson's disease: Which aspects of gait are attention demanding? (2005, background): “Our findings raise the possibility that the increased gait variability during dual tasking might explain some of the high risk of falls seen in patients with PD. Falls are a major cause of injuries, hospitalization and dependence in PD (Ashburn et al., 2001a; Wood et al., 2002; Bloem et al., 2004 )”
• Cueing training in the home improves gait-related mobility in Parkinson’s disease: the RESCUE trial (2007, result): “33 This result contradicts earlier work in which freezers were provided with a metronome for 1 week at home without clear benefits.”
• A block to pre-prepared movement in gait freezing, relieved by pedunculopontine nucleus stimulation (2011, neutral): “Freezing of gait and postural instability are the major causes of falls in Parkinsonian disorders, including Parkinson’s disease (Factor, 2008; Kerr et al., 2010) and are often poorly responsive to dopaminergic medication (Bloem et al., 2004).”
• Wearable Assistant for Parkinson’s Disease Patients With the Freezing of Gait Symptom (2010, background): “Although FOG episodes generally appear more frequently during the OFF state, gait deficits in PD patients are often resistant to pharmacologic treatment [ 11 ].”
• Gait disorders in adults and the elderly (2016, background): “characterized by start failure or a complete stop while walking, the second type involves shuffling on the spot and the third an insufficient shuffling with very small steps [42].”
• Potentials of Enhanced Context Awareness in Wearable Assistants for Parkinson's Disease Patients with the Freezing of Gait Syndrome (2009, background): “Although FOG episodes appear in general more often in the OFF state (at no-effect level of medication), gait deficits in PD patients are often resistant to pharmacologic treatment [ 5 ].”
