Postural abnormalities in Asian and Caucasian Parkinson's disease patients: A multicenter study

Chatkaew Pongmala et al.

Summary: This study directly compared the prevalence and characteristics of postural abnormalities (PA) in Asian and Caucasian patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The results showed that the prevalence of axial PA was not influenced by ethnicity. However, Asian PD patients tended to develop PA earlier in the disease course, especially antecollis (AC).

A systematic review on the effectiveness of perturbation-based balance training in postural control and gait in Parkinson's disease

Daniel Boari Coelho et al.

Summary: This systematic review summarizes the current evidence for perturbation-based balance training (PBT) on postural control and gait in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). The study suggests that PBT can improve postural control and gait in PD patients, including a reduction in the number of falls and a decrease in the severity of PD. However, limitations in the methodological quality and quality of evidence of the included studies have affected the reliability of the conclusions.
