Presence and origin of variability of the pull test and push-and-release test in people with Parkinson’s disease
Variability in the patient's balance test scores can be attributed to substantial variability in test delivery, as well as inconsistent performance of the individual patient. Assessment of postural instability may benefit from standardizing test delivery, e.g., using treadmill-induced perturbations.
