  • Freezing of Gait

Interventions

OTHER

Psychological intervention

The intervention consists of four sessions of a 'managing the mental state' intervention, of which the first and second session will take place in the home-setting of the patient; the two remaining sessions will take place remotely. The sessions include psychoeducation on what anxiety is and how stress and anxiety can influence FOG, identifying how people are allocating attention and engage in specific thought-processes (e.g. worrisome thoughts) during walking, and educating patients about 'managing the mental state' compensation strategies that involve ways to reduce anxiety or stress and will be specifically tailored to the individual patient.
