FOG may be due to a lack of central inhibition, as people with PD and FOG (PD+FOG) have difficulty inhibiting postural preparation prior to initiating stepping. We recently demonstrated that presynaptic inhibition (PSI) in the spinal cord, is crucial for coordinating postural preparation with step initiation. To investigate the feasibility of vibrotactile feedback in restoring PSI and overcome step initiation failure in PD+FOG. 000041613 540__ $$fCC BY 000041613 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000041613 650__ $$aGait Disorders, Neurologic$$032249 000041613 650__ $$aVibration$$027806 000041613 650__ $$aParkinson Disease$$023617 000041613 650__ $$aFeedback$$018928 000041613 650__ $$aGoals$$019673 000041613 650__ $$aHumans$$020376 000041613 650__ $$aParkinsonian Disorders$$032648 000041613 650__ $$aMovement Disorders$$022476 000041613 650__ $$aGait$$019340 000041613 650__ $$avibrotactile stimulation 000041613 6531_ $$afreezing of gait 000041613 6531_ $$apresynaptic inhibition 000041613 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000041613 692__ $$aDepartment of Neurology$$041431 000041613 7001_ $$aChitlur, Tanisha$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041613 7001_ $$aLiu, William$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041613 7001_ $$aBoari, Daniel$$uFederal University of ABC 000041613 7001_ $$aHorak, Fay B.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041613 7001_ $$aMancini, Martina$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041613 7001_ $$aSilva-Batista, Carla$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041613 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2023 000041613 8564_ $$906653fcc-8a8a-432e-8a14-ada634953654$$s62612$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/41613/files/ResearchWeek.2023.Chitlur.Tanisha.pdf 000041613 980__ $$aResearch Week 000041613 981__ $$aPublished$$b2023-08-21
