Summary

The main goal of this study is to evaluate, via EMG (electromyography) system, the muscle activity in the lower limbs, to understand the contribution of the muscle activity to FOG (freezing of gait) in Parkinson's patients. The phenomenon of FOG appears in advanced cases of Parkinson's disease (PD) and can lead to an increased risk of falls. There are several approaches claiming that there is abnormal activity in the calf muscles and the freezing events in Parkinson's patients. In the clinic, monitoring FOG is done subjectively, usually through observations or through questionnaires. As a result, the information about the phenomenon may be biased and insensitive. With an electromyographic monitor (EMG), objective information about the muscular activity during normal walking and during unusual events can be obtained.
