Abstract

Falls in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) are limiting and disabling factors, their understanding is complex given their multifactorial nature. In this context, a tool, the fall diary, can be a significant alternative in understanding this event. Objective: Evaluate the use of the fall diary as a tool to monitor falls in people with PD. Methods: This is a systematic literature review that had the following guiding question: is the fall diary an adequate tool to monitor falls in people with PD? The search in Pubmed, Medline, PEDro, Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases was carried out between January and March 2022. The review was registered on the PROSPERO platform under registration number: CRD42018099127. Results: A total of 192 studies were retrieved from the databases, after adopting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 6 studies were included in this review, the daily variable of falls was briefly described in the analyzed studies and information was extracted from what it should contain in a falls diary. Conclusion: The analysis allowed us to conclude that fall diaries are important tools for recording and understanding the fall event in people with PD, however, they lack standardization.
