Mapping the Landscape of Postural Control in Parkinson’s Disease

Published on March 24, 2023

Imagine you’re on a tightrope, trying to maintain your balance while a strong wind blows. Now imagine that feeling all the time. That’s what it’s like for people with Parkinson’s disease who struggle with postural control. In this groundbreaking study, researchers used a visualized analysis based on the Citespace knowledge graph to explore the research landscape of postural control in Parkinson’s disease. They analyzed over a decade’s worth of papers, looking at publication trends, international collaborations, influential authors, and more. By mapping out the current research status, hotspots, and frontiers in this field, the study provides valuable insights for future research and interventions. If you’re curious about how scientists are working to improve postural control for people with Parkinson’s disease, this article is a must-read!

Postural control impairment is one of the primary motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson’s disease, leading to an increased risk of falling. Several studies have been conducted on postural control disorders in Parkinson’s disease patients, but no relevant bibliometric analysis has been found. In this paper, the Web of Science Core Collection database was searched for 1,295 relevant papers on postural control in Parkinson’s disease patients from December 2011 to December 2021. Based on the Citespace knowledge graph, these relevant papers over the last decade were analyzed from the perspectives of annual publication volume, countries and institutes cooperation, authors cooperation, dual-map overlay of journals, co-citation literature, and keywords. The purpose of this study was to explore the current research status, research hotspots, and frontiers in this field, and to provide a reference for further promoting the research on postural control in Parkinson’s disease patients.
