    Abstract:
    Parkinsonian patients suffer often from falls. There are a lot of causes. Postural instability is an important risk factor for falls in Parkinson's disease.

An interdisciplinary therapeutic approach and general measures can help preventing falls in patients with Parkinson's syndrome.
