Freezing of gait (FOG) is common in neurodegenerative forms atypical parkinsonism, but few studies have examined FOG multiple system atrophy (MSA). In this study, we the prevalence freezing and its relationship to clinical features a large cohort Chinese MSA patients.This exploratory study included 202 patients with probable MSA. was defined as score ≥ 1 on item 14 Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. Patients or without were compared terms Scale (UMSARS) well cognitive neuropsychiatric assessments.The frequency 48.0, 52.1, 38.7% MSA, predominant parkinsonism (MSA-P), cerebellar ataxia (MSA-C), respectively. associated worse subscores parts I, II IV UMSARS total score; greater likelihood speech difficulties, falls, impairment balance disorder; more severe symptoms anxiety depression; lower activities daily living. The binary logistic regression model indicated that higher scores MSA-P, MSA-C patients.Freezing may be among patients, correlate motor symptoms, anxiety, depression Total an independent risk factor for FOG.

Significant developments in sensing technology have had many impacts, enhancing monitoring and assessment accuracy across diverse fields. In the field of physical therapy, sensing, which plays a pivotal role tele-physiotherapy, rapidly expanded amid COVID-19 pandemic. Its primary objective is to monitor biological signals patient movements at remote locations. To further enhance effectiveness scope it essential develop data analysis technologies. However, there are usability issues that limited its use. The development these technologies will not only deep learning by AI through acquisition big data, but also has potential elucidate movement characteristics associated with disorders or pathological conditions. Furthermore, improving can broaden applications extending beyond tele-physiotherapy impact daily life. Looking forward, holds promise for our understanding disease prognosis progression.
