Cycling for Freezing Gait in Parkinson's Disease
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
A 58-year-old man with a 10-year history of idiopathic Parkinson's disease presented with an incapacitating freezing of gait. However, the patient's ability to ride a bicycle was remarkably preserved. (In Video 2, the patient is not wearing a safety helmet because in the Netherlands, wearing a safety helmet is neither required by law nor customary.) http://bit.ly/c4BQ2f

Wow man, that must be such an amazing sense of freedom

I see a lot of dutch people almost take pride in having the custom of not wearing a helmet.....Why?

@ 1:17 super human strength old lady pushes car out of the way for her friend to ride by.

In High School, my TV Prods class had a substitute teacher - and little did I know he had parkinsons. He started to walk across the room, and then out of nowhere he started busting out doing a little Irish jig (like the man 'skipping' in the video).... or so I thought, and I bust out laughing. He explained himself and to this day I still cringe from the feeling I had. It did, however, make me more compassionate and understanding of different people.

No helmet

hmmm...maybe this is why michael j fox has parkinson and the only way for it to be cured is have him ride an actual hoverboard and that leads to a production of a hoverboard thus completing back to the future promise of hoverboard by 2015. whos with me?

Another fun thing some of us get to enjoy because God decided it.

Amazing.

I need to rain on this parade sadly. His motions are alright on the bike but as soon as he's stopping his brain will order him to move onwards and will make him fall over (as you can slightly see at the last couple of second of this video). It (sadly) has no use for any kind of therapy and could possibly worsen the symptoms.
-
All he needs now is a pedal powered wheelchair for inside use!

Excellent -very motivational!!!

We're just now talking about this man in Cervical Differential seminar.

I start to walk when I hear the funk of James Brown or Cameo

Cycling has been the best therapy for my wife.

the world's best transport, shame that many do not realize it!!!!!

Astounding. Especially the jaunty wee dismount. I'll tell you what though, if he hadn't been able to ride the bike it would've been pretty ugly. Talk about sink or swim.
