Summary
Freezing of gait - the inability to start or continue walking - is a particularly disabling problem in Parkinson's disease that has few treatment options. This project records human brain activity from deep brain stimulation (DBS) devices during walking and freezing of gait episodes to understand the pathophysiology of freezing of gait. Findings will lay the foundation for the development of new treatment strategies that address this disabling symptom.
