Studies seeking participants Towards a Parkinson’s Specific Gait, Balance and Posture Rating Scale: Development and validation testing plan of complementary investigator rated and patient reported items (PIGD-MDS)

Posted: July 3, 2024

Individuals living with Parkinson’s disease (PD) often have trouble with balance, walking, and posture. These problems can make it hard to move and can lead to falls and injuries. It is important to identify and measure these issues early to help keep people with PD safe and to track how the disease is progressing. The purpose of this study is to validate a newly proposed protocol to assess posture, balance and gait in persons living with PD.
