Postural disorders in Parkinson’s disease

Camptocormia is flexion of the thoracolumbar spine of more than 45° when standing, which decreases when lying down. It is accompanied by Pisa syndrome (lateral flexion of the trunk) and antecollis. Treatment is coordinated with other medical specialties, and rehabilitation focuses on the trunk extensors, balance and fall prevention.
