Should we use both clinical and mobility measures to identify fallers in Parkinson?s disease?

Rodrigo Vitorio et al.

Summary: This study found that considering both clinical factors and objective balance and gait characteristics is important for distinguishing fallers from non-fallers in Parkinson's disease.

The Effect of Non-Immersive Virtual Reality Exergames versus Traditional Physiotherapy in Parkinson's Disease Older Patients: Preliminary Results from a Randomized-Controlled Trial

Elvira Maranesi et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an innovative treatment for older patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) based on non-immersive virtual reality exergames. The results showed that virtual reality exergaming technology can effectively improve balance and psychological well-being, and significantly reduce the risk of falling in PD patients. There were also significant improvements in gait characteristics. This study highlights the potential importance of virtual reality technology in the rehabilitation of older PD patients.

Analysis of handgrip strength, pulling force using the upper limbs, and ground reaction forces in the task of boarding a bus between healthy elderly individuals and those with Parkinson's disease

Andressa Miri et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the handgrip strength, pulling force, and ground reaction forces of individuals with and without Parkinson's disease when boarding a bus. The results showed that individuals with Parkinson's disease had lower upper limb strength and expended more energy during the task compared to healthy individuals.

Systematic review for the prevention and management of falls and fear of falling in patients with Parkinson's disease

Wen-Yi Liu et al.

Summary: This review summarizes recent empirical evidence on the prevention and management of falls and fear of falling in patients with Parkinson's disease. By analyzing the causes of falls and constructing a fall prevention model, it provides effective strategies for the prevention and management of falls and fear of falling in clinical practice for Parkinson's disease patients.

Do kinematic gait parameters help to discriminate between fallers and non-fallers with Parkinson's disease?

Arnaud Delval et al.

Summary: By analyzing the combination of gait parameters and clinical characteristics, a predictive model was developed to distinguish between fallers and non-fallers in Parkinson's disease patients, showing high accuracy rates.

Mobility Performance in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Potential Digital Biomarkers of Concern about Falling

Changhong Wang et al.

Summary: The study found an association between mobility performance and concern about falling in older adults. Older adults with high concern about falling had poorer mobility performance, and mobility performance metrics can be used as predictors to identify older adults with high concern about falling. These metrics could potentially serve as digital biomarkers for clinicians to remotely track changes in older adults' concern about falling.

Effect of Fear of Falling on Mobility Measured During Lab and Daily Activity Assessments in Parkinson's Disease

Arash Atrsaei et al.

Summary: Fear of falling (FOF) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) can impact mobility, with lower gait speed and walking bouts observed in those with FOF. A combination of lab and daily activity parameters has a higher discriminative power for detecting FOF, providing useful clinical evaluation for prevention and treatment strategies.

The relation between falls risk and movement variability in Parkinson's disease

Steven Morrison et al.

Summary: This study found that individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) have a higher risk of falling, slower motor function, and greater variability compared to healthy older adults. Gait measures were highly correlated with falls risk for the PD group, while balance measures were linked to falls risk for healthy older adults.

Macular microcirculation characteristics in Parkinson's disease evaluated by OCT-Angiography: a literature review

Evita Evangelia Christou et al.

Summary: The retina may serve as a predictive factor for neurodegenerative disorders, with recent use of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) in studying macular microcirculation changes in Parkinson's disease (PD). While preliminary evidence suggests OCT-A could be a useful biomarker for cerebral vasculature in PD, further research is needed to confirm its predictive value in clinical practice.
