A Novel MRI Compatible Balance Simulator to Detect Postural Instability in Parkinson's Disease

Conclusions: Deficits in static and dynamic balance control can be detected in PD patients using a novel MRI compatible balance simulator. This technique allows for functional neuroimaging to be combined with balance-relevant tasks, and provides a new means to create insights into the neural substrates contributing to postural instability in PD.
