Approximately 50% of people with Parkinson’s disease will fall in any given year, and 70% of these people will fall repeatedly. A small number of individuals fall on a weekly or daily basis. This project will explore risk factors for recurrent falls in people with PD, as well as the impact of recurrent falls with the aim of developing and testing interventions specifically designed to reduce falls in frequent fallers
