Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by rigidity, postural instability, bradykinesia, and tremor, as well as other musculoskeletal impairments and functional limitations. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the reliability and stability of measures of impairments and physical performance for people in the early and middle stages of PD, Subjects. Thirteen men and 2 women in Hoehn and Yahr stages 2 and 3 of PD participated. Their mean age was 74.5 years (SD = 5.7, range = 64-84).
