The relationship between WM lesions (WM) and Postural Instability Gait Disorders (PIGD-PD)in Parkinson's disease patients is largely unknown. We hypothesize that sub-clinical WM pathology may be a major contributing factor to PIGD-PD. We will compare two groups of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD): those with PIGD and patients with dominant tremor (n=120)to assess the role of brain WM changes.
To compare brain WM burden using MRI in PD patients with and without PIGD. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) analysis techniques will be applied.We will quantify PIGD-related symptoms including cognitive function, balance and gait and their associations with MRI findings.
