Effects of textured insoles on balance in people with Parkinson's disease [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Degradation of the somatosensory system has been implicated in postural instability and increased falls risk for older people and Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Here we demonstrate that textured insoles provide a passive intervention that
