TL;DR: These findings are the first to document the association of FOG to autonomic system activation, as manifested by HR dynamics, and provide experimental evidence linking impaired motor blockades to autonomics nervous system function among patients with Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: The results highlight the power of the haplotype association method, particularly useful in studies of founder populations, and reaffirm the benefits of studying complex diseases in Ashkenazi Jewish cohorts.

TL;DR: Ashkenazi Jewish LRRK2 carriers are more likely to manifest the postural instability gait difficulty (PIGD) motor phenotype than non-carriers but perform similarly to noncarriers on cognitive screening tests as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Altered organization of the dorsal attention network in patients with FOG may explain the higher risk for FOG during complex walking situations and support the idea that attentional networks play an important role in FOG.

TL;DR: Users’ feedback suggests an overall positive attitude toward adopting and using the system in their daily life, indicating that the system supports them in improving their gait, and sensing data-driven analysis shows a decrease in FoG duration and FoG number when they use the system as a gait-assistive tool during normal daily life activities at home.
