In patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), balance disorders are among the most disabling symptoms. Linked to impaired postural control, coordination, and fine motor skills, they significantly increase the risk of falls, leading to injury, loss of independence, and a marked decline in quality of life. These balance impairments are often resistant to pharmacological treatment and require targeted rehabilitation strategies.
