"Wheelchair Sign"
The so-called "wheelchair sign" describes patients with parkinsonism who take to using a wheelchair early in the course of their disease, usually because of falls. Early falls are a feature of progressive supranuclear palsy (Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome) rather than idiopathic Parkinson’s disease.
