Postural Instability in Parkinson’s Disease

Postural instability in Parkinson’s disease refers to the impaired balance and difficulty maintaining an upright posture, which often leads to falls. It is a later-stage motor symptom and is characterized by:

  1. Poor reflexes: Diminished ability to make automatic adjustments to maintain balance when standing or moving.
  2. Stooped posture: A tendency to lean forward or backward, increasing the risk of falling.
  3. Impaired balance control: Difficulty with tasks requiring balance, such as standing up from a chair, turning, or walking.
  4. Retropulsion: A tendency to fall backward when lightly pushed or when attempting to walk backward.
  5. Freezing of gait: Brief episodes where a person feels “stuck” and unable to move forward, which often happens in tight spaces or when turning.

Postural instability often contributes to reduced mobility and independence in Parkinson’s patients and increases the risk of injuries due to falls. Balance exercises and physical therapy can help manage this symptom, though it tends to worsen over time.
