“…This is in keeping with previous studies which reported that patients with PD could use other sensory modalities to maintain postural control during quiet standing in the absence of visual input [5,25,29]. On the other hand, with motion of visual scenes, patients with PD presented a greater reduction in BFR reduction than healthy subjects, suggesting that they had greater difficulty adapting to the dynamic visual field using other sensory inputs to maintain postural control [31].…”

“…In addition to abnormalities in the selection of compensatory sensory modalities and greater dependency on visual inputs during certain conditions [31,32], . This is in keeping with a previous study that assessed the postural control of patients with PD (HY Stages 2 to 4) and healthy subjects using the Sensory Organization Test [9].…”

“…Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder that affects balance and people with PD fall more often than age-matched healthy controls [1,2]. Fear of falling (FOF) is commonly experienced [3,4] and is a predictor of recurrent falls [5], a barrier to physical exercise [6], and is negatively associated with health-related quality of life [4].…”

BackgroundFear of falling (FOF) is commonly experienced in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). It is a predictor of recurrent falls, a barrier to physical exercise, and negatively associated with health-related quality of life. A variety of rating scales exist that assess different aspects of FOF but comprehensive head-to-head comparisons of their psychometric properties in people with PD are lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of four FOF rating scales in people with PD. More specifically, we investigated and compared the scales’ data completeness, scaling assumptions, targeting, and reliability.MethodsThe FOF rating scales were: the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I), the Swedish FES (FES(S)), the Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale (ABC), and the modified Survey of Activities and Fear of Falling in the Elderly (mSAFFE). A postal survey was administered to 174 persons with PD. Responders received a second survey after two weeks.ResultsThe mean (SD) age and PD duration of the 102 responders were 73 (8) and 7 (6) years, respectively. ABC had worse data completeness than the other scales (6.9 vs. 0.9–1.3% missing data). All scales had corrected item-total correlations exceeding 0.4 and showed acceptable reliabilities (Cronbach’s alpha and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) >0.80) but only FES-I had ICC >0.90. The standard error of measurements ranged from 7% (FES-I) to 12% (FES(S)), and the smallest detectable differences ranged from 20% (FES-I) to 33% (FES(S)) of the total score ranges. ABC and FES(S) had substantially more outliers than mSAFFE and FES-I (10 and 15 vs. 3 and 4, respectively) when the two test occasions were compared.ConclusionsWhen assessing FOF in people with PD, the findings in the present study favoured the choice of FES-I or mSAFFE. However, FES-I was the only scale with ICC >0.90 which has been suggested as a minimum when using a scale for individual comparisons.

“…Fall rates are higher in studies that also include "near falls" 1 . Recent studies have shown that sensory input and sensory motor processing appear to be relevant in clinical issues in PD, such as instability in open spaces, postural control disorientation, or FOG [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] . One of the interesting points about the relationship between the changes in the cues of sensory information and postural control is the possibility to assess postural responses with these changes in order to understand all of the mechanisms involved in balance disorders in patients with PD.…”

The description of the postural responses in Parkinson's disease patients when visual information changes from a stable to a moving visual field analyzing the impact on balance in these patients. Methods (Clinical):Limits of Stability, Body center of pressure and balance functional reserve were measured by means of the force platform in 24 Parkinson´s patients in stages 1 and 2 of the Boher classification and 19 volunteers as a control group. Both groups were stimulated with 1-Static visual field and 2-horizontal optokinetic stimulation using a virtual reality system. Postural responses were analyzed using the inverted pendulum as mathematical model. Results:While the control group didn't show significant differences on the postural control between the two sensory conditions (COP p=0.0017, BFR p=0.0025), Parkinson's patients presented significant differences in the area of the center of pressure and the balance functional reserve values between static visual field and optokinetic stimulation. (COP p=0.0017, BFR p=0.0025). Conclusions:The results support the hypothesis about the influence of the changes in the visual information in triggering balance control disorders in Parkinson's patients. It is discussed the interest of these fact in the assessment and the rehabilitation programs of this disease. Braz J Otorhinolaryngol. 2011;77(5):651-5. ORIGINAL ARTICLE BJORL
