Apraxia of gait- or apraxia of postural transitions?

Marian L Dale et al. Parkinsonism Relat Disord. 2018 May.

Abstract

"Apraxia of gait" is not a useful concept and freezing of gait should also not be considered an apraxia. The concept of apraxia may, however, be applied to distortions of postural transitions that can accompany fronto-parietal lesions.
