Expert Briefing: Freezing and Fall Prevention in Parkinson's
Wellness Wednesday: A Balancing Act - Freezing and Fall Prevention in Parkinson's

Falls often result in injuries ranging from minor cuts to serious fractures, impacting mobility and quality of life. Learn how freezing and other movement and non-movement symptoms can contribute to falls and how to lessen the risk.
