Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • Men/women of age > 18 years with idiopathic Parkinson*s disease, as diagnosed by the UK Brain Bank Criteria (Hughes et al. , 1992). • Written informed consent. • Presence of FOG (defined as a score of 1 on question 1 "Have you experienced FOG in the past month" from the NFOGQ). • Disabling/regular FOG (defined as a score of 3 "Very often, more than one time a day" on question 2 "How often do you experience FOG" from the NFOGQ). • Patients need to use conservative cues in daily life.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • Presence of stroke in history or a psychiatric disease. • Severe visual impairments. • Severe co-morbidity (such as orthopedic problems) limiting ambulation. • Severe cognitive impairments (MMSE

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Walking tasks will be video-taped and rated for the presence of FOG by two experienced raters.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
In addition, participants will wear some accelerometers on their body (XSens), using which we can calculate gait parameters such as step length.	—
