Dr. Gilbert Answers Questions About Parkinson’s Disease and Sleep Issues

A recent episode of APDA’s Dr. Gilbert Hosts featured special guest Dr. Maria Ospina, a movement disorders specialist, who spoke to us about sleep issues and Parkinson’s disease, a very common symptom for people with PD. A lot of ground was covered during the broadcast and many questions were answered from the audience, but with limited time, it wasn't possible to answer all the questions during the webinar.

Falls can be a major difficulty for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), leading to fractures and other injuries. People with PD are at increased risk of fracture, with a four times higher risk of hip fracture as compared with the general population. 

But not every fall can be prevented, so an often-overlooked part of managing someone who tends to fall is assessing bone density and treating low bone density if possible.
