Daily Exercise Patterns and Their Differences between Parkinson's Disease Patients with and without Postural Instability.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Due to the clinical impact of exercise in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), management should include personalized and effective exercises according to patient's PD stage. We investigated the detailed exercise behaviors of patients with mild to advanced PD and compared their patterns between PD with and without postural instability (PI).

Methods
