Articles that discuss novel assessment methods and interventions regarding aspects of gait and posture will be included. Moreover, qualitative studies that discuss the needs and experiences of fall-prone population groups will also be included. This Special Issue, “Fall prevention: Novel interventions for improving gait and posture in movement disorders” is dedicated to addressing existing gaps in the field of neurologic rehabilitation. It will describe achievements in clinical care, education, training, and research. Case studies, research, and review articles are welcome.
