Changes in walking, balance and mobility are common and bothersome symptoms of Parkinson’s. They may look different from person to person — and even within the same person, depending on time and situation. Listen to audio from this month’s MJFF Parkinson’s Webinar to hear experts discuss why Parkinson’s can affect walking and explore practical strategies that may help you move more confidently. They also dig a little deeper into freezing of gait, including what can trigger it, what to do if a freeze happens and how the latest research could improve care in the future. Like our podcasts?

Today Parkinson’s treatments are largely focused on helping manage symptoms, but researchers are working towards something more: treatments that address a wider range of symptoms and ultimately slow or stop disease progression. Getting there will likely take many different approaches, reflecting the many ways Parkinson’s can affect people. In this episode of the MJFF Parkinson’s Podcast, part of its award-winning Parkinson’s Science POV series, host Maggie Kuhl, vice president of patient engagement at MJFF, leads a conversation with MJFF Chief Scientific Officers Brian Fiske, PhD and Mark Frasier, PhD, about how researchers are building a more diverse pipeline of potential treatments. They discuss how learning more about Parkinson’s are opening doors to new approaches, and the importance of centering what really matters for people living with the disease. Maggie also speaks with Shalini Padmanabhan, PhD, MJFF’s head of translational research, about the Foundation’s Targets to Therapies program and how MJFF is helping discoveries move closer to new treatments.

A Parkinson’s diagnosis can raise big questions in a family: Was there a genetic link that contributed to developing the disease? How should other family members think about their risk? Should people get genetic testing? In audio from this month’s MJFF Parkinson’s Webinar, our panel of experts discusses what genetics can tell us about Parkinson’s risk, what to consider around genetic testing, and how studying genetics is helping researchers develop better treatments for everyone living with the disease.

A world without Parkinson’s will only be made possible through the work and energy of the Parkinson’s community — people living with the disease and their loved ones, researchers, clinicians, industry leaders, lawmakers and others. Catalyzing that community towards productive action is one of The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s (MJFF) four main areas of research focus in its Strategic Research Agenda, along with more clearly defining Parkinson’s disease, building better treatment pipelines and speeding clinical trial decision-making. In this episode of The Michael J. Fox Foundation Parkinson’s Podcast, part of its award-winning Parkinson’s Science POV series, Maggie Kuhl, vice president of patient engagement at MJFF, leads a conversation about these efforts with two veteran scientists: Brian Fiske, PhD, chief scientist, MJFF and Mark Frasier, PhD, chief scientist, MJFF.
