TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Comment: Frontal lobes, executive dysfunction, gait and the fallacy of Pseudo-transitivity JO - Neurology A1 - Montgomery, Erwin B. SP - 415 EP - 415 VL - 78 IS - 6 N2 - Freezing of gait (FOG) in patients with Parkinson disease (PD) is particularly vexing as it causes disability and yet is often treatment refractory. Further, gait disorders do not track with volitional motor control. For example, gait often worsens with high-frequency deep brain stimulation while upper extremity function improves. Frontal lobes lesions can produce Bruns ataxia, an apraxia restricted to gait.
