Evaluating the Contributions of Dynamic Flow to Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease by Chad A. Lebold, Q. J. Almeida

“…Therefore, three groups; 15 PD FOG, 16 PD non-FOG, and 16 healthy controls were tested in 3 narrow doorway conditions; baseline (Narrow), ground lines (Ground), and laser (Laser). Step length indicated that the PD FOG group was only able to improve with ground lines, while the laser increased gait variability and double support time. …”
