Balance Training
Research groups worldwide have demonstrated the benefits of exercises targeted at improving balance and reducing falls in people with PD. Despite differences in methods and interventions, these studies found that exercise improved functional mobility and reduced the incidence of falls, particularly in individuals with mild to moderate Parkinson's. These studies reinforce the power of exercise and specific balance task practice to improve balance and reduce fall risk. Such fall reductions may have a dramatic impact on quality of life.
