Balance impairments and falls, which are common in patients who have parkinsonian movement disorders, are a serious threat to the health of these individuals. However, the underlying mechanisms cannot be fully explained by presynaptic dopaminergic denervation, because balance impairment is at least responsive to L-dopa therapy. This article reviews the latest clinically relevant literature relating postural control, gait, and dopamine in patients who have parkinsonian movement disorders.
平衡障碍和跌倒在帕金森氏运动障碍患者中很常见,对这些人的健康构成严重威胁。然而,潜在机制不能完全用突触前多巴胺能去神经来解释,因为平衡障碍至少对左旋多巴治疗有反应。本文综述了帕金森氏运动障碍患者中与姿势控制、步态和多巴胺相关的最新临床相关文献。
