Ankle Push-Off Based Mathematical Model for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

Ankle Push-Off Based Mathematical Model for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

Freezing is an involuntary stopping of gait observed in late-stage Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. This is a highly debilitating symptom lacking a clear understanding of its causes. Walking in these patients is also associated with high variability, making both prediction of freezing and its...
