Summary

The investigators will modify and evaluate the feasibility of a mindfulness intervention among people living with Parkinson disease (PD) and freezing of gait (FOG). FOG is a severe motor disturbance that prevents people from stepping normally and is associated with anxiety, frustration, sedentary behaviors, poorer quality of life, and falls. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an evidence-based practice that creates a culture to reduce stress and anxiety by increasing conscious awareness and self-compassion. In this study, the investigators will develop a mindfulness-based walking intervention to address both mental health and mobility challenges that constitute FOG. This R34 feasibility study includes three aims to permit the development of a mind and body approach for FOG among people living with PD.
