People with Parkinson disease (PD) present phenotypes that are characterized as tremor-dominant (TD) or postural instability/gait difficulty (PIGD) subtypes. Differentiation of subtypes allows clinicians to predict disease course and adjust treatment. We examined whether brief mobility and balance measures can discriminate PIGD from TD phenotypes.
