Objective[edit | edit source]
The New Freezing of Gait Questionnaire (NFOG-Q) is a self-reported questionnaire consisting of 9 items that measure freezing of gait (FOG). The NFOG-Q is the renewed version of the FOG-Q, which originally consisted of 6 items.
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
Patients with Parkinson's Disease and other Parkinson-related Symptoms.
The New Freezing of Gait Questionnaire[edit | edit source]
| Did you experience freezing in the last month?
Yes No |
| During your worst state—Do you walk:
0 Normally 1 Almost normally—somewhat slow 2 Slow but fully independent 3 Need assistance or walking aid 4 Unable to walk |
| Are your gait difficulties affecting your daily activities
and independence? 0 Not at all 1 Mildly 2 Moderately 3 Severely 4 Unable to walk |
| Do you feel that your feet get glued to the floor while
walking, making a turn or when trying to initiate walking (freezing)? 0 Never 1 Very rarely—about once a month 2 Rarely—about once a week 3 Often—about once a day 4 Always—whenever walking |
| How long is your longest freezing episode?
0 Never happened 1 1–2 s 2 3–10 s 3 11–30 s 4 Unable to walk for more than 30 s |
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
- The NFOG-Q is easy to administer and requires no equipment.

Validity[edit | edit source]
Responsiveness[edit | edit source]
