Freezing of gait (FOG) is a debilitating symptom Parkinson disease (PD). It episodic and variable in nature, making assessment difficult. Wearable sensors used conjunction with specialized algorithms, such as our group's pFOG algorithm, provide objective data to better understand this phenomenon. While these methods are effective at detecting FOG retrospectively, more work needed. The purpose paper explore how the existing algorithm can be refined improve detection prediction FOG. To accomplish goal, previously collected were utilized assess ability current potency each task(s) for eliciting FOG, maintenance accuracy when modifying sampling rate. Results illustrate that was able predict upcoming episodes, but false positive rates high. Go Out Turn-Dual Task most potent 360-Dual elicited longest duration maintained rate 60 Hz significantly worse 30 Hz. This an important step refining improved clinical utility.
