if u freeze up have someone get a flashlight and point the beam of light a few feet in front of, even better i to use a laser pointing device. It should get u unfrozen This is a way to trick our neural pathway through the eyes. There are other non-visual ways.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, Google Pamela Quinn's PD Movement Lab. I think you'll find it very helpful.
