Since the mid-2000s, perturbation-based balance training has been gaining interest as an
efficient and effective way to prevent falls in older adults. It has been suggested that this task …

Objective To compare, rank and evaluate the 24 exercise types that improve postural
instability in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods We searched the data in …

A clinical practice guideline on Parkinson disease was developed by an American Physical
Therapy Association volunteer guideline development group that consisted of physical …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disorder traditionally associated with
degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons within the substantia nigra, which results in …

Objective Reactive balance training (RBT) is an emerging approach to reducing falls risk in
people with balance impairments. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of …

The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent PD affects the ability to walk, respond
to balance perturbations in a single training session, and produce acute short-term effects to …

Background: Impaired gait and postural stability are cardinal motor symptoms in Parkinson's
disease (PD). Treadmill training improves gait characteristics in PD. Objective: This study …

Background and Purpose: Poor reactive steps may lead to falls in people with Parkinson
disease (PwPD). However, whether reactive steps can be improved in PwPD at risk for falls …

Gait and postural control dysfunction are prototypical symptoms compromising quality of life
for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Hallmarks of cellular pathology are dopaminergic …

Background Pharmacological and surgical interventions do not improve postural control and
gait effectively in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). An innovative and promising …
