Prediction of Falls in Subjects Suffering From Parkinson Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Stroke: Methodologic Issues

I was interested to read the article by Beghi et  al1 published in the April 2018 issue of Archives. The authors aimed to compare the risk of falls and fall predictors in patients with Parkinson disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), and stroke. They included a total of 299 patients as follows: PD (n=94), MS (n=111), and stroke (n=94). They appli ed functional scales to investigate balance, disability, daily performance, self-confidence with balance, and social integration. Patients were followed for 6 months.
