Abstract
Nir Giladi was truly a man on a mission. His rich career was dedicated to fulfilling a beautiful dream: finding a treatment that would slow or stop the progression of Parkinson disease (PD) and ultimately finding a cure. That he was not given enough time to realize these breakthroughs is incredibly sad, yet his legacy is enormous.
Nir was also among the first to understand that walking and standing involve an important degree of cognitive control3, leading him to organize several successful international congresses that focused specifically on the bidirectional interaction between gait and cognitive function. In addition, realizing that conventional medical management is often insufficient to alleviate the disability caused by PD, Nir was a leading figure in the development of multidisciplinary care for people with PD. For him, this concept did not just involve multiple professional disciplines delivering optimal care for patients — he insisted on working closely with affected individuals. Indeed, patient-centeredness was core to his approach, and was palpable throughout his centre of excellence in Tel Aviv.
