Modeling freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease with a virtual reality paradigm

Highlights ► Patients with freezing of gait suffer from more motor arrests in virtual reality. ► The number of motor arrests correlates with the number of clinical freezing events. ► The number of motor arrests also correlates with the duration of time spent frozen. ► Virtual reality can be used to...

Description
Summary:Highlights ► Patients with freezing of gait suffer from more motor arrests in virtual reality. ► The number of motor arrests correlates with the number of clinical freezing events. ► The number of motor arrests also correlates with the duration of time spent frozen. ► Virtual reality can be used to invoke freezing behavior in combination with fMRI.
