Fear of falling in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Among the elderly, the fear of falling is more pronounced in the presence of PD and is associated with age, duration of PD, motor disorders, and depression. Increased confidence reduces the risk of falls complicated by proximal hip fracture and improves quality of life. In PD patients, the fear of falling is reduced by regularly performing the required amount of physical activity.
