Pure akinesia with gait freezing: a clinicopathologic study
BACKGROUND Pure akinesia with gait freezing is a rare syndrome with few autopsied cases. Severe freezing of gait occurs in the absence of bradykinesia and rigidity. Most autopsies have revealed progressive supranuclear palsy. We report the clinical and postmortem findings of two patients with pure akinesia with gait freezing, provide video recordings of these patients, and review the literature...
متن کاملClinical and single-photon emission computed tomography study of pure akinesia with freezing of gait.
The clinical syndrome of pure akinesia (PA) is considered the third phenotype of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and is characterized by freezing of gait and prominent speech disturbance without rigidity or tremor. It is frequently considered one of the dopamine resistant motor syndromes, and its pathophysiology remains unclear. We report a patient followed in the Department of Neurology ...
متن کاملPure akinesia with gait freezing: a third clinical phenotype of progressive supranuclear palsy.
The clinical syndrome of pure akinesia has most often been associated with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and is characterized by difficulty initiating gait and "freezing" during walking, writing and speaking. Similar syndromes have been described under the rubrics of primary progressive freezing gait and primary gait ignition failure. We investigated the specificity of the clinical syndr...
متن کاملComparison of regional brain atrophy and cognitive impairment between pure akinesia with gait freezing and Richardson's syndrome
Pure akinesia with gait freezing (PAGF) is considered a clinical phenotype of progressive supranuclear palsy. The brain atrophy and cognitive deficits in PAGF are expected to be less prominent than in classical Richardson's syndrome (RS), but this hypothesis has not been explored yet. We reviewed the medical records of 28 patients with probable RS, 19 with PAGF, and 29 healthy controls, and com...
متن کاملAn Experimental and Theoretical Study of Freezing of Pure Aluminum
In this work, Boltzmann transform has been used to analyze the problem of freezing of pure Aluminum in semi-infinite domain. The uniqueness of solution (solidification front location) has been proved using the characteristics of the functions appeared in solution. The effect of density change on temperature distribution and errors resulting from ignoring this change have been investigated. The ...
