While considerable progress has been made in understanding postural control in people with PD in the literature, there is still work to be done in order to identify the best ways of improving their postural control, either using laboratory practice, community based dance/exercise practice or a combination of the two. Furthermore, little is known about the best way of evaluating the effect…
The risk of critical body disequilibrium and subsequent fall is relatively high in advanced stages of Parkinson's disease, particularly when freezing of gait is established. This project aims to evaluate the effect of training of body balance recovery following unanticipated perturbations in individuals with freezing of gait due to Parkinson's disease. Postural perturbations will be gener…

The decline in dynamic postural control in aging is associated with an increased risk of falls. Two clinical tests have been shown to be important predictors of the risk of falls, assuming they are indicators of dynamic balance: the "Five Times Sit to Stand" (FTSS) and the "Timed Up and Go" (TUG). Both use the test run time as a measure of performance. Although both tests supposedly invol…
