Changes in postural control with aging and Parkinson's disease.

Deterioration of the neural mechanisms that govern postural stability and other mechanisms can disrupt the balance system. This article briefly outlines the research on postural control in elderly adults and patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Parkinson's disease may be considered a fo...
