TURN-IT FOG: Improving Turning and Freezing of Gait in People With PD
This study, called TURN-IT FOG, is looking at two different rehabilitation programs to help people with Parkinson's disease (PD) who experience Freezing of Gait (FOG). FOG is when you suddenly feel like your feet are stuck to the ground when you try to walk. The study wants to see if a turning-focused agility exercise or a strength-based exercise can reduce FOG and improve daily movement. Researchers will measure FOG severity based on what patients say, what clinicians observe, and data from wearable sensors. You might be able to join if you are 50 to 80 years old, have been diagnosed with PD by a movement disorders neurologist, and experience FOG. The study aims to see if these interventions are effective enough to warrant a larger clinical trial in the future. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 60 participants. You will be randomly assigned to one of two intervention groups.
- What's involved
- You will have one-on-one training sessions three times a week for 6 weeks. You will also complete assessments before and after the intervention and use wearable sensors daily.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your Freezing of Gait severity will be measured from enrollment through the 8-week intervention period.

What this trial measures
- Patient- Perceived Freezing of Gait SeverityFrom enrollment/randomization through intervention; 8 weeks
Change in freezing of gait severity with the intervention (scored in likert scale by the patient; 3 = Much improved, 2 = Somewhat improved, 1 = Minimally improved, 0 = No change, -1 = Minimally worse, -2 = Somewhat worse, -3 = Much worse)
- Clinician- Perceived Freezing of Gait SeverityFrom enrollment/randomization through intervention; 8 weeks
Change in freezing of gait severity with the intervention (scored in likert scale by the clinician; 3 = Much improved, 2 = Somewhat improved, 1 = Minimally improved, 0 = No change, -1 = Minimally worse, -2 = Somewhat worse, -3 = Much worse
- Sensors-based Freezing of gait severityFrom enrollment/randomization through intervention; 8 weeks
Freezing of Gait Index calculated during a 360 degrees turning in place from wearable sensors; continuous scale, with a higher positive score meaning a greater level of freezing of gait.
