In a sense it is all in your head in that it is a frequent trait to PWP. As do most of our follies due to the core problem is locaed n the Substaintia Nigra area of our braiins. In some situatoins I ahve found that if I try to roll up to the balls of my feet as i walk it tendss to ahlt the shuffling. Tis requries some conccentration becasue it is not a normal pattern. The concentration part gets more diffficlt over time therefore i have to quit chewing gum during some of my walks."smiles" I havent experienced any falls from freezing but to thoseoff you who have did you have a lot of shuffling and short stetps prior to the falls. Is there a direct ralation between freeaing and shffling?
