I'm sorry to hear about your husband's experience. Here are some tips from my knowledge base to help manage freezing episodes in Parkinson's disease:

- Listen to a Regular Beat: Music or a metronome can help maintain a rhythm and prevent freezing.
- Consciously Lift Feet: Imagine stepping over a laser while walking.
- Use the "U" Technique: When turning, walk in a U shape instead of pivoting sharply.
- Focus on One Task at a Time: Avoid multitasking while moving.
- Move Slowly: Take your time when standing up, sitting down, or changing positions.

If the freezing episodes continue, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
