Abstract

Freezing of gait (FoG) is a highly disabling and challenging symptom of dyskinesia. At present, the pathophysiological mechanism of frozen gait is not completely clear, and the specific mechanism of action observation and motor relearning rehabilitation training based on mirror visual feedback of embodied cognition is not clear. Cognitive, emotional and sensory signals are involved in each node of gait control motion loop, and multiple interactions among sensory, edge and cognitive systems regulate gait and posture control. This paper makes a brief review from the perspective of embodied cognition in order to provide new ideas for further improving the cognition of FoG, evaluating and developing more effective non-invasive intervention FoG nerve rehabilitation technology.

Keywords:Freezing of gait (FoG); Embodied cognition (EC); Mirror visual feedback (MVF); Nerve rehabilitation
