Early Postural Instability in Parkinson’s Disease: A Biomechanical Analysis of the Pull Test

Postural instability in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is commonly assessed by the pull test. This clinical test may be biased by the variability of the pull force applied. Our objective was to study the postural responses elicited by reproducible pull forces in healthy subjects and PD patients at differe...
