Combating Freezing Episodes in Parkinson’s

Parkinson’s freezing can affect any portion of the body and interfere with almost any task, such as chewing or writing. Although the upper part of the body is still flexible, it typically happens when someone is walking, making them feel as though their legs are stuck to the ground. 

It is still unclear what physiological factor is in Parkinson’s freezing. What is understood is that, notably in those with mid to late-stage disease, it’s frequently linked to drops in treatment effectiveness.
