Summary For Families
Freeze-Path is building a long-term patient registry to learn more about freezing of gait, the sudden trouble starting or keeping walking that leads to falls, loss of independence, and reduced quality of life. Participants receive their usual medical care while researchers collect information over up to 36 months during routine visits, using questionnaires, walking and balance tests, video recordings, and other common clinical assessments, and no experimental drugs or treatments are given. Adults aged 30 to 85 with freezing of gait or other gait and balance problems and a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease or a related condition can join if they can complete the walking and balance tasks (with help if needed) and can give written consent; people with very severe dementia, recent major medical events, serious psychiatric or medical problems that affect walking safety, or who refuse video or speech recording are not eligible.
