Let's Talk Parkinson's - postural instability and balance

Postural instability occurs due to changes in the brain and nervous system that affect the body’s ability to maintain balance. This symptom can significantly impact the daily lives of people living with Parkinson’s, increasing the risk of falls and decreasing quality of life. It’s crucial for people with Parkinson’s to understand the causes and management strategies for postural instability. There are various treatment options available, including medication, physiotherapy, and exercise programs designed to improve balance and prevent falls. It’s also essential to take steps to reduce the risk of falls by making modifications to the environment, such as removing trip hazards and improving lighting. Wearing appropriate footwear and using walking aids can also help prevent falls and improve balance. Postural instability often occurs when a person is first diagnosed with Parkinson’s, but it may become more common and worsens as the disease progresses. People with Parkinson’s are more prone to falls if they cannot re-stabilise from changes in motion, leading to hospital stays or serious injury. In this latest Let's Talk Parkinson's series Dr Paulo Silva Pelicioni from University of New South Wales discusses treatment options and the health professionals that can assist.
