“Freezing or Sweating Falls When Walking with Parkinson’s Disease”

Program: Freezing is associated with abnormal balance control, cognitive issues, and reduced connections between the frontal cortex and locomotor areas in the brainstem. New studies suggest that exercises focused on the balance and cognitive issues and ability to walk and talk may improve brain function involved in walking and freezing. At the end of this presentation, participants will: Understand how the brain controls walking and balance; discover what types of balance and gait impairments in Parkinson’s disease result in freezing and falls; and explore what can be done to minimize freezing and falls.

Presenter: Fay B. Horak, Ph.D., PT, Professor of Neurology, OHSU

Presented by: Parkinson’s Foundation
