 Using a questionnaire method, we investigated frequency and tendency of falls in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) in home. Answers were provided separately from 62 patients and their caregivers. Severity of patients was evaluated by Hoehn & Yahr Stage and were rated stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ. The frequency of falls was 67.7%. Events of falls occurred during walking, standing up, sitting down, and dressing. Falls in living rooms are most common, while falls in bathrooms and rest rooms are less common. Repairs of houses were conducted mainly in bathrooms and rest rooms, but most of these repairs were done without consultation with rehabilitation staff members. In addition, there were differences concerning recognition of falls between patients and caregivers. Since PD patients might fall even in their early stages, we believe that advise from rehabilitation staff members, especially from occupational therapists, was necessary for repairs of houses, improving their activity of daily living and instructions for their caregivers.
