Article Synopsis
  • Freezing of gait (FOG) is a debilitating symptom of Parkinson's Disease and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, leading to significant quality of life impairment, and its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.
  • A study involving three patients with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy-progressive gait freezing (PSP-PGF) showed no deterioration in gait and balance after spinal cord stimulation (SCS) over 13 months, alongside notable changes in brain activity patterns.
  • The findings indicate improved communication between brain and spinal circuits during SCS, suggesting potential advancements in treatments utilizing brain-spine interfaces for FOG patients.
