ABSTRACT

Freezing is characterized by an inability to produce effective steps and includes an arrest of the march and festination. Clinical evaluation presents several difficulties. Objective: to translate into Spanish and validate the freezing of gait questionnaire in Mexican patients with Parkinson’s disease. Methods: following the translation into spanish of the freezing of gait questionnaire; we included 63 patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease treated at the Clinic for abnormal movement of the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery in Mexico City. The freezing of gait questionnaire and the Short and the Short Parkinson’s Evaluation Scale were applied to all patients. Clinimetric properties of the instrument were assessed. Results: the internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha was adequate for the whole instrument (0.81). 51% of the sample had freezing of gait. Conclusions: the freezing of gait questionnaire, spanish version, implemented in Mexican patients clinimetric possesses adequate clinimetric properties which are comparable to other populations.
