Summary

Parkinson's disease is characterized by cardinal motor signs such as bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity and postural instability. In addition to these findings, motor freezing, gait disorders, posture disorders, decreased arm swings and loss of axial rotation are also seen. About 80% of the causes of falls in Parkinson's patients are due to postural instability and motor freezing, and patients' quality of life is significantly affected. In addition, gait disorders are common in advanced stages of Parkinson's Disease. Gait disorders decrease the quality of life by increasing the risk of falls, fractures and mortality. Therefore, the aim of this study is to observe the change in gait, foot pressure distribution and balance parameters of Parkinson's patients with and without motor deceleration compared to each other and healthy controls and to determine the relationship between these parameters.
