Biospecimen Retention: None Retained

Biospecimen Description:

Estimated Enrollment:	30
Study Start Date:	October 2008
Estimated Study Completion Date:	October 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	October 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Groups/Cohorts	Assigned Interventions
PD+FOG Patients with Parkinson's disease prone to freezing	Device: Auditory cue When device recognizes automatically freezing episode it will generate auditory cue

Detailed Description:

The subjects will walk with an accelerometer. The acceleration traces will be online analyzed, and if freezing episode is recognized, an auditory cue will be heard.
