ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Gait disorders and postural instability are the leading causes of falls and disability in Parkinson's disease (PD). Cognition plays an important role in postural control and may interfere with gait and posture assessment and treatment. It is important to recognize gait, posture and balance dysfunctions by choosing proper assessment tools for PD. Patients at higher risk of falling must be referred for rehabilitation as early as possible, because antiparkinsonian drugs and surgery do not improve gait and posture in PD.
RESUMO
RESUMO Distúrbios da marcha e perda de controle postural são as causas principais de queda e incapacidade na doença de Parkinson (DP). A alteração cognitiva desempenha um papel importante para a perda do controle postural e aumenta o risco de quedas; ela também interfere no cuidado e tratamento dos distúrbios da marcha. É importante reconhecer os transtornos da marcha, postura e equilíbrio escolhendo instrumentos de avaliação adequados para identificar os pacientes que tem maior risco de quedas e referi-los para reabilitação o mais precocemente possível, porque os medicamentos e a cirurgia não melhoram a marcha, nem a postura de pacientes com DP.
