7. Balance and gait in Parkinson’s disease : from perceptions to performance
Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to explore perceptions and performance of balance and gait in people with Parkinson’s disease (PwPD), and to evaluate both the current evidence for exercise-induced neuroplasticity and the feasibility of investigating exercise-induced neuroplastic changes among PwPD. This thesis includes four papers of different designs; a qualitative interview study (paper I), a systematic review and meta-analysis (paper II), a pilot RCT (paper III) and a crosssectional study (paper IV).

In this thesis the role of BDNF, in suicidal behaviour was investigated with focus on possible risk factors for suicidal behaviour such as avoidant focused coping, dysfuntional personality traits like impulsiveness and hyperactivity of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis.
