【 摘 要 】

Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s. Patients with PD experience motor disturbances, postural instability, gait disturbances, and balance disorders, causing a high risk of falls. Virtual reality (VR), as one physiotherapy intervention, can be an option to prevent the prevalence of accidental falls. In this literature review, the authors selected five papers to examine the effectiveness of VR in reducing fall risk in PD and its limitations. The results show a decrease in the risk of falling in PD, which was assessed using several parameters.
