By Kaylena Ehgoetz Martens Freezing of gait is characterised by a sudden inability to initiate or continue walking which significantly impacts quality of life in people living with Parkinson’s disease. Since dopaminergic replacement therapy only partially ameliorates freezing of gait, other non-dopaminergic contributions may play a role in freezing of gait. There is evidence that sympathetic arousal increases prior to a freezing episode, particularly when freezing is triggered by stress. This highlights a potential neural mechanism to underpin the relationship between anxiety and freezing of ..read more
