Balance dysfunction and postural instability in Parkinson’s disease (PD) are among the most relevant determinants of an impaired quality of life and proprioceptive deficits have been largely documented in PD patients. The goals of this CEU course are to investigate the effectiveness of conventional physiotherapy interventions in the management of balance dysfunction and postural instability in persons with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease, evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a rehabilitation-training program combined with the use of a sensory-motor orthotic in improving balance, examine the effects of a balance-based exergaming intervention using the Kinect sensor, and determine whether improvement in postural instability is associated with Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) score as an indicator of frontal lobe dysfunction.
