Official Title: Investigating Therapies for Freezing of Gait Targeting the Cognitive, Limbic, and Sensorimotor Domains

Brief Summary: Freezing of gait (FOG) is arguably one of the most debilitating motor symptoms experienced by individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). FOG may be caused by an overload of cognitive, limbic, and sensorimotor system activity in the basal ganglia. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate cognitive, limbic, and sensorimotor therapies in individuals with FOG. Participants in this study will undergo all three types of treatments in a randomized counterbalanced order. Each treatment will occur in 1 hour sessions, twice weekly for a period of 4 weeks.
