Objectives
1. Understand how the brain controls walking and balance• Balance and gait should be automatic• The basal ganglia works with the frontal cortex and brainstem
2. Discover what types of balance impairments result in freezing and falls
• Small stepping responses (multiple weight shifts)• Lack of automaticity (dual-tasks)• Inability to stop inhibition (cognitive deficit)
3. Explore what can be done to minimize freezing and falls• Biofeedback and Cueing• Exercise: Dance, Tai Chi, Agility, Cognitive

What Is Balance?
An active brain process that controls the body center of mass over its base of support

BrainInhibitionPathway
• It is difficult for the brain to control balance and thinking at the same time
• Poor balance requires more attention
• Attention can be reduced by aging and PD
• As skilled tasks become more AUTOMATIC, they require less attention
Why Is it Hard to Walk and Chew Gum?
Attention is required for balance!
Freezers Require More Attention for Balance and Walking

Main Summary Points
39
• Balance and gait should be automatic.
• PD and FoG results in less automatic control of balance/gait.
• Freezing and falls in PD:Ø Small stepping responses
Ø Lack of automaticity (dual-tasks)
Ø Inability to stop inhibition (cognitive deficit)
• Exercise can reduce falls
