What a great session on freezing 🤩 @FHulzinga did a fantastic job presenting how we, as rehabilitation specialists, can help people with freezing of gait ❄️ #FOG #MDSCongress @movedisorder @PRO__Labo @KULeuvenPT

Very happy with this clinically orientated review about targeted PT interventions for patients with Parkinson's Disease and freezing of gait. It includes a simple model to decide which intervention suits your patient best! Worth a read! @MoranGilat

[Moran Gilat @MoranGilat]

~FREE open access!~ This one is for all the physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals out there who treat people with Parkinson disease and freezing of gait. https://t.co/AK1bgXch0r Targeted PT training is worth our effort to reduce the burden of FOG in PD! @KULeuvenPT

@VWeerdesteyn @radboudumc @movingresearch Very nice read! Practicing judo prevented some serious injuries in my daily life! The techniques become reflexes which stick with you long after actively practicing. @alizadehsaravi good thinking, it might also reduce fear of falls I guess which is good for falls prevention too:)
