Another common sign of Parkinson’s disease is the postural instability, which is common among patients who are already in the later stages of the disease. Due to the condition, patients will find it difficult to maintain an upright posture.

Parkinson’s disease can lead to lost reflexes and when it reaches the advanced stage, the individual will not be able to maintain proper balance.
