Balance and gait disorders in de novo Parkinson’s disease: support for early rehabilitation
Balance and gait were impaired in de novo PD and most pronounced in PIGD subtype. In addition, balance difficulties during dual-tasking and falls/near falls were evident during this early stage. The lower scores of motor symptoms in Later PD did not result in better mobility, balance, or less falls/near falls indicating that medications have less effect on these symptoms.
