Gait Characteristics Associated with Fear of Falling in Hospitalized People with Parkinson's Disease.

Our study suggests that FOF is closely related to gait changes in hospitalized PD patients. Therefore, FOF needs special attention in the rehabilitation of these patients, and targeting distinct gait parameters under varying walking conditions might be a promising part of a multimodal treatment program in PD patients with FOF. The effect of these targeted interventions should be investigated in future trials.
