Postural Instability and Risk of Falls in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease Treated with Deep Brain Stimulation: A Stabilometric Platform Study

Postural Instability and Risk of Falls in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease Treated with Deep Brain Stimulation: A Stabilometric Platform Study

Postural instability (PI) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) exposes patients to an increased risk of falls (RF). While dopaminergic therapy and deep brain stimulation (DBS) improve motor performance in advanced PD patients, their effects on PI and RF remain elusive. PI and RF were assessed using a stabilo...
