Cortical and Cerebellar Oscillatory Responses to Postural Instability in Parkinson's Disease
Introduction: Posture and balance dysfunctions critically impair activities of daily living of patients with progressing Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the neural mechanisms underlying postural instability in PD are poorly understood, and specific therapies are lacking. Previous electrophys...
