Patients with Parkinson’s Disease 🧠 have higher chances of fall because of possible reasons :-
Patients generally take steps that are too slow or small (bradykinesia), or that vary in size
walk or turn too fast
do not swing their arms when they walk.
Involuntary movements (dyskinesia), which can be a side effect of some Parkinson’s medication, can also cause falls.
“ Freezing Gait”
Some people with Parkinson’s fall because they have problems starting to move, or suddenly “freeze” while moving. Freezing can last for a few seconds or minutes.
Although freezing can happen at any time, people may experience it when they are:
walking towards or through doorways
moving from one style of flooring to another, such as from carpet to tile
distracted, anxious or hurrying
in a busy or crowded place.
Posture and stiff (rigid) muscles
Parkinson’s can also lead to changes in posture. One might become more stooped (bent forward) with difficulty in neck movements.
Back & leg muscles may also become more stiff (rigid). This can increase your risk of falling. It can also mean patients are less able to break or soften your fall, so are more likely to injure yourself.
But getting help early from Neuro Physiotherapists from Osteorehab clinic can make you safer and more confident, improving your gait pattern & Balance.
