Journal ArticleDOI
Recurrent falls in Parkinson's disease: a systematic review.
TL;DR: The wide range in the frequency of recurrent falls experienced by people with PD suggests that it would be beneficial to classify recurrent fallers into sub-groups based on fall frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Balance and falls in Parkinson's disease: A meta-analysis of the effect of exercise and motor training†‡
TL;DR: Exercise and motor training can improve the performance of balance‐related activities in people with Parkinson's disease, however, further research is required to determine if falls can be prevented in this population.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: There were statistically nonsignificant trends toward greater improvements in the exercise group for measures of muscle strength, walking, and fear of falling, but not for the measures of standing balance, and further investigation of the impact of theimpact of exercise on falls in people with PD is warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise for falls prevention in Parkinson disease A randomized controlled trial

TL;DR: This study provides Class III evidence that for patients with Parkinson disease, a minimally supervised exercise program does not reduce fall risk and improved physical and psychological health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postural instability in patients with Parkinson's disease : epidemiology, pathophysiology and management
Samuel D. Kim,Samuel D. Kim,Natalie E. Allen,Colleen G. Canning,Victor S.C. Fung,Victor S.C. Fung +5 more
TL;DR: This paper showed that physical therapy, especially highly challenging balance exercises, can improve postural stability and reduce the risk of falls, although the long-term effects of physical therapy interventions on postural instability need to be explored given the progressive nature of PD.
