Evidence for subtypes of freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to identify and characterize subtypes of freezing of gait by using a novel questionnaire designed to delineate freezing patterns based on self-reported and behavioral gait assessment. METHODS: A total of 41 Parkinson's patients with freezing completed the Characterizing Freezing of Gait questionnaire that identifies situations that exacerbate freezing. This instrument underwent examination for construct validity and internal consistency, after which a data-driven clustering approach was employed to identify distinct patterns amongst individual responses. Behavioral freezing assessments in both dopaminergic states were compared across 3 identified subgroups. RESULTS: This novel questionnaire demonstrated construct validity (severity scores correlated with percentage of time frozen; r = 0.54) and internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .937), and thus demonstrated promising utility for identifying patterns of freezing that are independently related to motor, anxiety, and attentional impairments. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with freezing may be dissociable based on underlying neurobiological underpinnings that would have significant implications for targeting future treatments. © 2018 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
