Freezing is a sudden interruption of gait in the beginning or during walking, which occurs in typical situations. In addition to Parkinson’s

disease appears in neurodegerative and vascular parskinsonian syndromes, normal pressures hydrocephalus and in frontal and

frontal circuit’s lesion. This is a summary about classification, diagnosis including freezing, patophysiology and therapy of this fenomen.

Keywords: freezing, gait disorders, parkinsonism, therapy
