Study summary

To develop a reliable and accurate clinician-reported outcome (ClinRO) measure (against a new and precise definition) and patient reported outcome (PRO) for use by clinicians and researchers to quantify the severity of Freezing of Gait (FOG).

Groups and cohorts

  • Freezing Of Gait Patients

    15 patients with Parkinson disease with freezing of gait (group) in ON \& OFF states

    Device: Opals · Device: Axivity

  • Non Freezing Of Gait Patients

    5 patients with Parkinson disease without freezing of gait (cohort) in ON \& OFF states

    Device: Opals · Device: Axivity

Interventions

  • DeviceOpals

    Five Oplas sensors were strategically placed on participants: one on each shin, one on each foot, and one on the lower back.

  • DeviceAxivity

    At the end of the first session, participants with FOG, will be fitted with an Axivity monitor. This is wearable sensor that will be attached to the participant's lower back (lumbar vertebrae 4-5) with hypoallergic medical tape by the researcher, and will be worn continuously for seven days. The Axivity monitor is a small (23 x 32.5 x 8.9 mm) and lightweight (11g) device that measures mobility via a tri-axial accelerometer and gyroscope and stores this data onboard, no GPS or other localization options are possible with this monitor. Participants will be given following guidelines concerning the use: The sensor is to be worn continuously during the seven-day period, i.e. also while sleeping and showering. The sensor is waterproof and can be worn during showering.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Validate the newly-developed ClinRO

    Rate scale of freezing of gait to detect meaningful improvement in freezing of gait. The scale name is " Freezing Of Gait Severity Score". it consist a 8 trials, each one can be rate between 0 to 8. the scale consist a part of frequency of the freezing and part of cumulative duration. The higher the score, the more severe the stagnation and the lower it is, the less stagnation is present.

    Time frame: 12/2025

Secondary outcomes

  1. Asses the importance of the FOG symptom for patients

    Severity of freezing of gait (FOG) symptoms and patient-reported impact on quality of life. The scale name is " Freezing Of Gait Severity Score". it consist a 8 trials, each one can be rate between 0 to 8. the scale consist a part of frequency of the freezing and part of cumulative duration. The higher the score, the more severe the stagnation and the lower it is, the less stagnation is present.

    Time frame: 12/2025
