Summary
This study tested whether a short questionnaire about falls, called the Dresden Falls Questionnaire, works well for Turkish-speaking people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers asked 64 patients to fill out the questionnaire along with other surveys during rehab sessions. The goal was to see if the tool is reliable and accurate for this group, which could help doctors better assess fall risk.
