Recent advances such as deep brain stimulation (DBS) and ultrasound guided botulinum toxin injection are helpful in management of postural and striatal deformities in patients with PD.

Postural disorders in Parkinson’s disease: clinical characteristics, frequency, pathophysiology and management

As postural disorders become irreversible after the development of secondary changes, such as muscle atrophy and bone fracture, physicians should recognize postural Disorders at early stages.

Treatment with istradefylline for postural abnormalities in Parkinson's disease.

Four Japanese patients with Parkinson disease and severe postural abnormalities treated with istradefylline and dopamine agonists were reported on, finding effective therapeutic strategies for postural deformities in PD are an unmet need.

Hand, foot, and spine deformities in parkinsonian disorders

Hand and foot deformities, known as “striatal deformities”, and other musculoskeletal abnormalities such as dropped head, bent spine, camptocormia, scoliosis and Pisa syndrome, are poorly understood…

The pathogenesis of Pisa syndrome in Parkinson's disease

Management of postural abnormalities such as postural deviations in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease remains a challenge as they respond poorly to medication, brain surgery, or physiotherapy.

Postural Control in Individuals with Parkinson’s Disease

This chapter intends to offer a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on this topic starting from the pathophysiology of postural control disorders occurring in various ecological conditions to the most innovative multidisciplinary rehabilitation approaches.

A case of Parkinson's disease with levodopa-responsive camptocormia

Camptocormia is extreme anteflexion posture of the chest lumbar vertebrae, which is exacerbated by rising maintenance and a walk, and completely disappears in the dorsal position [1,2]. Camptocormia…

Differences between lateral flexion in PD and Pisa syndrome are described and an atypical and rare type of tonic truncal dystonia, PISA syndrome, may be induced following the intake of neuroleptics.

Clinical features of joint and skeletal deformities in Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, and progressive supranuclear palsy are characterized to cause marked functional disability independent of other motor symptoms.

This case, the sixth published to the authors' knowledge, confirms that focal myositis is associated with the camptocormia in Parkinson's disease.

Camptocormia associated with PD usually emerges as the disease progresses, but no factors have been identified that reliably predict which patients with PD will develop this deformity, although it appears to be more common in patients with more severe, postural-instability-gait-difficulty form of PD.

Reversible Pisa syndrome in Parkinson's disease during treatment with pergolide: a case report.

This is the first case report of reversible Pisa syndrome in an idiopathic PD patient not taking cholinesterase inhibitors and it cannot exclude that this agent might facilitate onset of the postural disorder, even if a certain verdict cannot be expressed.

Spinal surgery in patients with Parkinson’s disease: experiences with the challenges posed by sagittal imbalance and the Parkinson’s spine

The surgical history of PD patients treated for spinal disorders and the reasons necessitating redo surgery for recalcitrant global sagittal imbalance in the authors' sample stressed the mainstays of spinal surgery in Parkinson’s: if spinal surgery is indicated, the reconstruction of spino-pelvic balance with focus on lumbar lordosis andglobal sagittal alignment is required.

The screening and early management of camptocormia in Parkinson’s disease is likely to be important for preventing axial disorders and spinal deformations.

This EMG study investigating the synergies of paravertebral muscles during dynamic conditions detected two different patterns with a typical dystonic activation in only a minority of cases.

Myopathy causing camptocormia in idiopathic Parkinson's disease: A multidisciplinary approach

It is concluded that CC and HD in PD are predominantly myopathic, consisting of abnormal variation in fiber size, increase in internal nuclei, and increase in connective tissue, myofibrillar disarray and similarities to protein surplus myopathies.
