Kick and rush: Paradoxical kinesia in Parkinson disease
Open accessAbstract
A 68-year-old enthusiastic soccer player with idiopathic Parkinson disease (PD) had unpredictable, immobilizing freezing of gait, which did not respond even to high doses of dopaminergic medication. By kicking a tennis ball attached to a rubber band, he could reliably overcome freezing (video on the Neurology Web site at www.neurology.org. ).

Some Parkinson's patients are able to emit an automatic motor response when presented with a familiar visual cue despite difficulties in initiating novel voluntary movements.
“For example, some Parkinson's patients are able to emit an automatic motor response when presented with a familiar visual cue (e.g., kicking a ball), despite difficulties in initiating novel voluntary movements [45].”

“The preserved ability of patients with PD to overcome their com-promisedmotorcontrol(suchasslownessofmovementanddecreased movement range) under specific environmental circumstances is often referred to as paradoxical kinesia (Asmus et al., 2008)or akinesia paradoxical (Heilman & Valenstein, 2011).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
