Grouping successive freezing of gait episodes has neutral to detrimental effect on freeze detection and prediction in Parkinson's disease.

Freezing of gait (FOG) is an intermittent walking disturbance experienced by people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Wearable FOG identification systems can improve gait and reduce the risk of falling due to FOG by detecting FOG in real-time and providing a cue to reduce freeze duration. However,...
