Impacts of gait freeze on quality of life in Parkinson ’s disease, from the perspectives of patients and their carers
ConclusionsThis study shows that FoG is a significant detriment to the QoL of PwP, from the perspectives of patients and carers. This method of assessing FoG and QoL using online questionnaires has potential to enhance the reach and flexibility of this type of research. These findings will inform future studies on larger cohorts and highlight unmet clinical needs in PwP. (Source: Irish Journal of Medical Science)
