Freezing of gait is a distressing symptom that affects many people with Parkinson's disease, making them suddenly feel stuck and unable to move their feet, even though they want to walk. This study is working to create better, more reliable ways for doctors and researchers to measure how severe this symptom is in individual patients. By developing these improved measurement tools, the study aims to help clinicians better understand and treat this challenging aspect of Parkinson's disease.
Right now, doctors don't have a consistent, precise way to measure freezing of gait severity. This study exists to create standardized tools that will help clinicians and researchers better track this symptom and, eventually, evaluate new treatments more accurately.

As a participant, you would visit the study center to complete walking and movement assessments while researchers measure your freezing of gait symptoms. You'll be tested in two states: once after taking your regular Parkinson's medications and once before taking them (when your symptoms may be more pronounced). The study involves 15 people with freezing of gait and 5 people without it to help researchers develop and refine their measurement tools.
