Freezing of gait, one of the most incapacitating symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, manifests as sudden, short episodes of an inability to move the feet forward despite the intention to walk. Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have shown that the disorder can be mitigated by means of a complex physical exercise protocol designed to stimulate different motor and cognitive skills simultaneously. An article on the study is published in the journal Movement Disorders.
