This video shows a patient with Parkinson's disease manifesting the typical features of freezing of gait. The first fragment shows the walking pattern during the off-phase. The freezing of gait episodes have an intermittent character and worsen when turning and while approaching a narrow passage (crossing a doorway). The second and third fragments show the beneficial effect of visual and auditory cueing. The fourth fragment shows the patient during the on-phase, showing a clear therapeutic effect of dopaminergic medication.
