The Effect of Levodopa on Improvements in Protective Stepping in People With Parkinsons Disease

Individuals with Parkinson’s disease are able to improve protective postural responses through short-term perturbation training, and improvements were more pronounced when on levodopa for some variables. Perturbation training may be more effective if completed while optimally medicated with levodopa.
