The issue of falls is important in all stages of Parkinson's disease. The major role that falls play in the course of the disease has long been scientifically proven. A fall can result in injuries such as fractures and head wounds, which can negatively impact mobility, mood, and cognition. In addition, there is often a fear of falling, which unfavorably increases the effect.
