Abstract

Introduction The severity of Parkinson's disease (PD) is difficult to assess accurately owing to the lack of a robust biological marker of disease progression, with consequent implications for prognosis and treatment. The current standard measure is the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) but this is hampered by considerable variability between observers and within subjects. Postural sway correlates well with complex brain functioning in other conditions. This study aimed to investigate the correlation of postural sway with the UPDRS and other non-motor measures of disease severity in patients with PD.
