This dataset includes raw data from the article “The Effects of Intensive Neurorehabilitation on Sequence Effect in Parkinson's Disease Patients With and Without Freezing of Gait”. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of a 4-week rehabilitation program on dSE in patients with PD with and without FOG. The dataset show forty-three patients (30 males, 70.6 ± 7.5 years old) with idiopathic PD were enrolled. The subjects were divided into two groups: patients with (PD + FOG, n = 23) and without FOG (PD - FOG, n = 20). All patients underwent a standardized 4-week intensive rehabilitation in-hospital program. At hospital admission (T0) and discharge (T1), all subjects were evaluated with an inertial gait analysis for dSE recording Results. At T0, the dSE was more negative in the PD + FOG group (−0.80 ± 0.6) when compared to the PD – FOG group (−0.39 ± 0.3) (p = 0.007), even when controlling for several clinical and demographic features. At T1, the dSE was reduced in the overall study population (p = 0.001), with a more pronounced improvement in the PD + FOG group (T0: −0.80 ± 0.6; T1: −0.23 ± 0.4) when compared to the PD – FOG group (T0: −0.39 ± 0.3; T1: −0.22 ± 0.5) (p = 0.012). At T1, we described in the overall study population an improvement in speed, cadence, stride duration, and stride length (p = 0.001 for all variables).
