Lindop Parkinson's Assessment Scale - for physiotherapists

The Lindop Parkinson's Assessment Scale (LPAS) is a validated, physiotherapy-specific, objective measure of functional mobility.
Physiotherapists can use the scale as a base-line measurement and also at intervals to determine whether problems have developed.
The scale can indicate where intervention should be targeted.
