Orthostatic hypotension (OH), which consists in a significant reduction in blood pressure
levels upon standing from a seated position, may affect approximately one in three patients
with Parkinson's disease (PD). It usually presents as dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling
faint, or feeling like you might black out while standing. This can significantly impact the
quality of life (QoL) of PD patients, resulting in difficulties with balance, walking, and
increased risk of falls. The main aim of this study is to evaluate whether the use of
technological devices (a computerized system for analyzing abnormalities in walking in
clinical settings and a wearable sensor to detect changes in postural unsteadiness in the
home environment) may improve the detection of complications and the response to medical
therapies for OH in patients with PD.
