May be gait training with a physical therapist. With Parkinsons when they freeze they get them to try some other movement. They have dogs that nudge the person to get them out of the freeze.

I have the same problem when I go to walk sometimes my legs get freeze up and I can't move I have to stop and think about me moving my legs and so that way I can move if I move to quick I fall is there anybody out there with a cure when I was younger the connection was better I could move easier
Hey, I'm not sure if it'll help, but try it. Sometimes I'll get up and I have such a hard time getting my legs started, but as I move around, it gets better. I stretch out my right thigh with the hurdler's stretch, and it gives me more mobility.
Thanks Shell! I was thinking the same thing, like hooking my brain up to the charger to my car battery!!! LOL :)
It's stuff like this when we should have some sort of a brain back-up battery!!!!! lol
Or, at least a fancy string (to match our outfit of course) tied to the leg to pull it from it's perch!
You are doing yourself right Deb w/the incumbent. Keep stretching too.
Hopefully there will be some others who read this who will have more successful therapy type tricks up their sleeve...
I probably haven't had this to the same extent that you do, and it is quite a while since it happened to me. I went up to the light switch, turned it on and when i turned around to walk back my left leg (my weak side) was for a couple of seconds seemed stuck to the floor.
It has happened also when I have tried to let go of things, it's as though my hand is on a time delay, I go to let go of something and my fingers won't do it, just for a couple of seconds, if that really. Like I said though, it happens occasionally and not for long, but still it sounds like the same type of thing.
