The study suggests that a dance-based weight-shifting strategy can enhance turning steps following freezing of gait (FOG) in individuals with Parkinson's disease, without compromising safety.
Freezing of gait (FOG) can severely compromise daily functioning in people with Parkinson's disease. Inability to initiate a step from FOG is likely underpinned, at least in part, by a deficient preparatory weight-shift. Conscious attempts to weight-shift in preparation to step can improve success of initiating forward steps following FOG. However, FOG often occurs during turning, where weight-shifting is more complex and risk of falling is higher. We explored the effectiveness of a dance-based ('cha-cha') weight-shifting strategy to re-initiate stepping following FOG during turning. Results suggest that this simple movement strategy can enhance turning steps following FOG, without compromising safety.
