MRI microstructure and morphology enable machine learning-based prediction of freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease.
Freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a debilitating, often treatment-resistant symptom impairing mobility and quality of life. Early identification of high-risk patients may enable targeted intervention, yet few prognostic biomarkers exist. In this thesis, we developed a machine …

The effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on dual-task walking in Parkinson's disease
… aging population. It is associated with a loss of dopamine-producing brain cells, which leads to abnormal brain activity and ultimately, a loss of locomotor control. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a technology that effectively modulates brain excitability by sending low …

Biomechanical and Neural Factors Associated with Gait Dysfunction and Freezing in People with Parkinson Disease
… cure, affecting one million Americans. Half of those with PD experience freezing of gait: FOG), manifested as an inability to complete effective stepping. Gait dysfunction and FOG are associated with falls, severe injury, and reduced quality of life, and are among the most disabling and …

Modulation and modeling of anticipatory postural adjustments for gait initiation in persons with Parkinson's disease
… thought to be caused by the degeneration of striatal dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. One of the most devastating symptoms of PD that can decrease mobility and substantially impair quality of life is freezing of gait (FOG). Currently, the treatments for the motor symptoms of …
