Introduction Given the high rate of falls during walking in people with idiopathic Parkinson's
disease (PD), identifying at risk individuals and developing targeted interventions to reduce …

People with Parkinson's disease (PD) suffer from progressive impairment in their mobility.
Locomotor and balance dysfunction that impairs mobility in PD is an important cause of …

People with Parkinson's disease (PD) can be classified into those with postural instability
and gait difficulty (PIGD subtype) and those manifesting tremor as the main symptoms (non …

Background: Falls are a major health and injury problem for people with Parkinson disease
(PD). Despite the severe consequences of falls, a major unresolved issue is the …

The study aims were to devise (1) a fall risk screen for people with PD using routine clinical
measures and (2) an explanatory (physiological) fall risk assessment for guiding fall …

Studies with young adults have shown that an external focus of attention (ie, on the
movement effect) results in more effective motor learning and greater automaticity than an …

Falls in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) are frequent and recurrent events with
devastating and widespread consequences. Despite this, understanding of the predictive …

Background Postural instability while standing, walking, and interacting with objects or the
environment places individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) at risk for falls, injuries, and self …

Falls are a major cause of morbidity in Parkinson's disease (PD). The objective of this study
was to identify predictors of falls in PD and develop a simple prediction tool that would be …

The pathophysiology of postural instability in Parkinson's disease remains poorly
understood. Normal postural function depends in part on the ability of the postural control …
