The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $1,058,260 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota. The grant will fund research to investigate the neurophysiology of movement transitions in Parkinson's disease with freezing of gait. The project aims to gain insight into the mechanisms and neurological biomarkers of freezing of gait, which could lead to interventions to reduce its incidence and severity, decrease falls, and improve quality of life for Parkinson's patients. The research will utilize biomechanical and neurophysiological measures to examine the dynamics of vestibulo-postural, cortico-cortical, cortico-muscular, and cortico-basal ganglia systems during cued and uncued posture-locomotion transitions in Parkinson's patients with and without freezing of gait, as well as healthy controls. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 to May 31, 2029.
