Approximately 40–70% of people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) fall each year, causing
decreased activity levels and quality of life. Current fall-prevention strategies include the use
of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. To increase the accessibility of this
vulnerable population, we developed a multidisciplinary telemedicine program using an
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) platform. We hypothesized that the risk
for falling in PD would decrease among participants receiving a multidisciplinary telemedicine intervention program added to standard office-based neurological care.
