Balance confidence and fear of falling in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how confident people with Parkinson's are in their balance and whether fear of falling (kinesiophobia) affects their daily life. The goal is to better understand these factors so that future treatments can help people stay active and safe.
