Interindividual Balance Adaptations in Response to Perturbation Treadmill Training in Persons With Parkinson Disease

Background and Purpose: Perturbation training is a promising approach to reduce fall incidence in persons with Parkinson disease (PwPD). This study aimed to evaluate interindividual differences in balance adaptations in response to perturbation treadmill training (PTT) and identify potential outcome predictors. Methods: PwPD (n = 43, Hoehn & Yahr stage 1-3.5) were randomly assigned to either 8 weeks of PTT or conventional treadmill training...
