Fig. 1: Evolution of axial scores and prevalence rate of frequent-fallers in people with Parkinson’s disease and subthalamic deep brain stimulation.
From: Axial impairment and falls in Parkinson’s disease: 15 years of subthalamic deep brain stimulation

Longitudinal values of axial scores are displayed through box plots (a). The central values within boxes correspond to the median (50th percentile, or Q2), whereas the range between the lower (25th percentile, or Q1) and upper (75th percentile, or Q3) bounds of the boxes reflects the interquartile range (IQR). Whiskers include scores outside IQR, whereas ends reflect maximum (Q3 + 1.5 × IQR) and minimum values (Q1 × IQR). Spots are outliers above the maximum values of whiskers. Longitudinal prevalence rate of frequent-fallers (PRFF%) is expressed as a percentage through histograms (b). Asterisks indicate the main differences among groups (**p < 0.001, *p < 0.05).
