U scientists explore freezing of gait, a debilitating complication of Parkinson’s disease, and actions that can get patients moving again.
The University’s Colum MacKinnon, Ph.D. (center), with research partners Jackie Vachon, M.S., and Chiahao Lu, Ph.D., record muscle and brain activity in their lab. They hope to learn what’s going on in the brains of people who have Parkinson’s as they prepare to move and then actually move. (Photo by Scott Streble)
